Abstract:
Objective To investigate the application of CT microvascular permeability surface (PS) in acute ischemic stroke. Methods Thirty patients suffering from acute or sub-acute cerebral infarction underwent CT perfusion (CTP) combining with CTA. Cerebral hemodynamic parameters (cerebral blood flow [CBF], cerebral blood volume [CBV], time to peak [TTP], PS) between lesions and contralateral side were compared. The manifestation of microvascular hyper permeability were analyzed. Results Significant differences were found in cerebral hemodynamic parameters between the core of cerebral infarction and the contralateral hemisphere (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in CBF and CBV between the surrounding of cerebral infarction and the contralateral hemisphere, but PS and TTP showed delaying and heightening, the difference was significant (P<0.05). High-density extravasation of contrast media in infarction zone was observed 30 min after CTP in 3 patients, the value of PS reached (9.20±1.43) ml/100 (ml·min). Conclusion CT microvascular PS may monitor hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke, and guide thrombolytic therapy.
