Dynamic cerebral autoregulation during and 3 months after endovascular treatment in large-vessel occlusion stroke

Abstract

Background Acute ischemic stroke caused by large-vessel occlusion is effectively treated by endovascular treatment (EVT). However, treatment could be further refined by improved understanding of the underlying pathophysiology, including dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) requires virtually no setup time and enables dCA investigation during EVT by measuring dynamic concentration in cortical oxygenated hemoglobin (OxyHb) continuously.
