Perfusion-Based Selection for Endovascular Reperfusion Therapy in Anterior Circulation Acute Ischemic Stroke

Abstract: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Controversy exists about the role of perfusion imaging in patient selection for endovascular reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that perfusion imaging versus noncontrast CT-based selection would be associated with improved functional outcomes at 3 months.

“…7,8 Several studies support the concept of using CTP as a tool for clinical decision-making for patients with AIS for IAT. [9][10][11][12][13] However, its clinical value has not been established because of limitations in these studies, such as retrospective design, lack of controls, and small cohort sizes. The MR RESCUE trial was the first to investigate the value of perfusion imaging-based selection for IAT, but was hampered by small cohort size and the use of less effective stroke devices.…”

“…Patients without rt-PA were inherently biased towards a later time to treatment due to the prompt time windows for thrombolysis. Similar outcomes may reflect an improvement in patient selection for endovascular therapy and the ability of modern imaging criteria, including perfusion based mismatch and the presence of pial collaterals, to identify patients beyond the traditional time windows that would benefit from intervention 28 29…”

“…In addition, CTP seems to be able to differentiate between infarct core and ischemic penumbra as, according to the classical ‘penumbral hypothesis’, areas with low CBV and low CBF or high MTT (CBF or MTT/CBV match) correspond to the core, while those with normal CBV and low CBF or high MTT (CBF or MTT/CBV mismatch) refer to the penumbra 23 24. Although this assumption has been challenged by the demonstration that CBF better approximates the extent of the infarct core than CBV,25 the potential of the MTT/CBV mismatch model in the selection of patients for reperfusion therapies was recently confirmed 26…”
