The application of computed tomography perfusion in the alberta stroke program early computed tomography score for endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation
International Journal of General Medicine May 28, 2021
Zhang WY, Xiang SF, Yang SJ, et al. - This study was undertaken to explore the predictive value of each perfusion parameter of the Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) in CT perfusion (CTP) imaging for the prognosis of endovascular treatment at the time of admission in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation. Researchers retrospectively examined the imaging data of 62 patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation with an onset time of 6 h or less. All individuals had undergone the one-stop whole-brain dynamic volume four-dimensional CT angiography-CTP and cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within seven days after treatment. This study’s findings demonstrate that cerebral blood flow-ASPECTS score presented significant value as a primary indicator for predicting the outcome of endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation, and it had good application prospects in clinical practice.
