Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Iodine contrast extravasation (ICE) is common in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) after endovascular-thrombectomy (EVT). The aim of our study was to evaluate the incidence of ICE assessed by dual-energy CT (DECT), its determinants, and associations with clinical outcome. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively examined imaging parameters and clinical factors from consecutive patients with AIS treated with EVT who had a DECT 24 hours thereafter, identified at a single academic center. Associations between ICE, clinical, imaging, and procedural parameters, as well as clinical outcome were explored by using univariable and multivariable models. RESULTS: A total of 197 consecutive patients were included (period 2019–2020), of which 53 (27%) demonstrated ICE that was pure ICE in 30/53 (57%) and mixed with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in 23/53 (43%). Low initial-ASPECTS, high per-procedural-contrast volume injected, and high admission-glycemia were independently associated with ICE (respectively, OR = 0.43, 95% CI, 0.16–1.13, P = .047; OR = 1.02, 95% CI, 1.00–1.04, P = .003; OR = 8.92, 95% CI, 0.63–125.77, P = .043). ICE was independently associated with ICH (P = .047), but not with poorer clinical outcome (6-month mRS >2, P = .223). Univariate analysis demonstrated that low ADC, higher ischemic volume, ICA occlusion, mass effect, longer procedure duration, combined thrombectomy technique, higher number of device passes, and lower recanalization rate were associated with ICE (respectively, P = .002; <.001; .002; <.001; .002; 0.011; <0.001; 0.015). CONCLUSIONS: ICE evaluated with DECT is a relatively frequent finding after EVT, present in almost one-third of patients. Lower admission ASPECTS, higher glycemia, and high contrast volume injected per procedure were associated with ICE. We also found an association between ICE and ICH, confirming blood–brain barrier alteration as a major determinant of ICH.
期刊介绍:
The mission of AJNR is to further knowledge in all aspects of neuroimaging, head and neck imaging, and spine imaging for neuroradiologists, radiologists, trainees, scientists, and associated professionals through print and/or electronic publication of quality peer-reviewed articles that lead to the highest standards in patient care, research, and education and to promote discussion of these and other issues through its electronic activities.
