Blood pressure variability and hemorrhagic transformation in patients with successful recanalization after endovascular recanalization therapy: A retrospective observational study
Annals of Neurology Feb 18, 2019
Kim TJ, et al. - In this retrospective observational study, researchers examined the association of blood pressure (BP) variability with symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH)—defined as parenchymal hemorrhage type 2 with neurological deterioration of ≥ 4 points on the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale—following successful recanalization with endovascular recanalization therapy (ERT). Between January 2013 and May 2017, a total of 211 eligible patients with acute ischemic stroke and successful recanalization following ERT were recruited and included in the study. In the first 24 hours following successful ERT, time-related BP variability was better correlated with sICH vs other absolute BP level, indicating that maintenance of a stable BP may be an important preventive factor after successful ERT.
