Abstract:
【Objective】To explore the image evaluation value of multi-model CT in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke with Solitaire stent embolectomy. 【Methods】 A total of 62 patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke from January 2015 to June 2016 in Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital were included in this study. Multi- model CT inspection,including CT scan(NCCT),CT angiography(CTA)and CT perfusion imaging(CTP),was performed in all patients within 3~8 h. The improved vascular TICI classification standard(mTICI)was used to assess vascular embolization,and we evaluated the responsible vessels and blood perfusion state by CTA and CTP blood vessels ,to determine the feasibility of embolectomy with Solitaire stent preliminarily. The patients underwent multi-mode CT examination 24 h after stent embolization to evaluate the responsible vessels. NIHSS was used to assess the neurological function at admission and 72 h after stent embolization.【Results】A total of 34 patients with indication of stent thrombus removal were selected by multi-mode CT examination from 62 patients. Re-examination of multi-mode CT after stent thrombus removal showed that 30 of the 34 cases(30/34,the successful rate was 88.2%)gained success in vascular recanalization. Before the stent thrombus removal of the 34 patients,CTP imaging showed ischemic penumbra(IP),and there was significant decrease in cerebral blood flow(CBF)and slight decrease in cerebral blood volume(CBV),significantly prolonged peak time (TTP) and mean transit time (MTT) compared with the contralateral image area. The difference is statistically significant(P < 0.01). After the stent thrombus removal,the relative cerebral blood flow(rCBF)and relative cerebral blood volume(rCBV)were elevated,the relative peak time(rTTP)and relative mean transit time(rMTT)were shortened. The difference is statistically significant(P < 0.01). Compared with admission,there is significant statistical difference in the NIHSS score of patients 72 h after operation(P < 0.01).【Conclusion】Multi-model CT has guiding effect and important evaluation value in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients with Solitaire stent thrombolysis.
