Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the value of Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score on diffusion weight-ed imaging(DWI-ASPECTS)in predicting the leptomeningeal collateral circulation(LMA)compensation of isch-emic stroke with middle cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion after intravenous thrombolysis. Methods A total of 178 patients with ischemic stroke confirmed as severe middle cerebral artery stenosis or occlusion by imaging were enrolled in the study.All the patients were treated by rt-PA intravenous thrombolysis.The baseline clinical date, DWI-ASPECTS,mRS and NIHSS were collected. LMA was assessed by cranio-cervical CTA. Results Compared with the poor collateral circulation group,the triglyceride level and DWI-ASPECTS were significantly increased in good collateral circulation group(P<0.05).The proportion of hypertension,NIHSS score,mRS score in good col-lateral circulation group were significantly lower than those in the poor collateral circulation group(P < 0.05). Compared with the poor collateral circulation group,insula,the ASPECTS areas M1 to M4,M6 and insula showed significantly fewer infarctions in good collateral circulation group(P<0.05).ROC analysis showed the area under ROC curve(AUC)of DWI-ASPECTS to predict LMA compensation were 0.932,the cutoff point of DWI-ASPECTS was 7.5.the sensitivity and specificity were 81.% and 94.1%.Conclusions The tissue protective role of good lepto-meningeal collateralization seems to be more pronounced in cortical and subcortical areas M1 to M4,M6 and the in-sula.DWI-ASPECTS can effectively predict the collateral circulation compensation in patients with acute middle ce-rebral artery infarction.
