High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging for predicting successful recanalization in patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The main aim of the study was to investigate the predictive factors of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (HR-MRI) for successful recanalization in patients with chronic internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO).

Methods

We included 41 consecutive patients who had CICAO and underwent recanalization attempts. The demographics, clinical data, and HR-MRI features in relation to the technique success were collected and analyzed using univariate and multivariate analyses. A score-based prediction model was constructed using a regression coefficient-based scoring method.

Results

Technical success was achieved in 26 (63.4%) patients, with a complication rate of 12.2% (5/41). Based on multivariate analysis, occlusions involving ophthalmic artery segment (C6) or above (OR: 0.036; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.004-0.336) and nontapered stump (OR: 0.064; 95% CI: 0.007-0.591) were identified as independent negative predictors of successful recanalization in patients with CICAO. Point scores were assigned according to the model coefficients, and the patients who scored 0, 1, or 2 points had success rates of 93.33% (14/15), 66.67% (12/18), or 0% (0/8), respectively.

Conclusion

HR-MRI characteristics may be valuable in identifying candidates for endovascular recanalization in patients with CICAO. Occlusions involving the C6 segment or higher, as well as nontapered stumps, were independent negative predictors of technical success.

Project description:BackgroundThe efficacy of endovascular recanalization for internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus occlusion has not been completely evaluated.ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of endovascular recanalization for ICA terminus occlusion.MethodsData from Direct-MT, a randomized controlled trial, were applied. ICA terminus occlusions were diagnosed with preprocedure computed tomography angiography by the core laboratory. We dichotomized the ICA terminus occlusions into 2 groups (non-T and T) and analyzed the differences between them. Single-factor analysis and multiple logistic regression were applied to detect independent factors for clinical outcomes and futile recanalization.ResultsThe rates of first-pass effect, successful recanalization, good clinical outcome, mortality, and futile recanalization were 22.3% (50 of 224), 83.0% (181 of 224), 24.6% (55 of 224), 26.7% (60 of 224), and 69.6% (126 of 181), respectively. Baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (negative factor; odds ratio [OR] 0.89; 95% CI 0.84-0.95; P < .001), hypertension (negative factor; OR 0.38; 95% CI 0.18-0.80; P = .010), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score ≥ 6 (OR 3.68; 95% CI 1.29-10.5; P = .014), tirofiban use (OR 2.46; 95% CI 1.16-5.19; P = .018), first-pass effect (OR 2.87; 95% CI 1.28-6.41; P = .010), and final extended thrombolysis in cerebral infarction ≥ 2b (OR, 3.50; 95% CI 1.17-10.4; P = .024) were independent factors for good clinical outcome. Baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (OR 1.12; 95% CI 1.05-1.20; P = .004), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score < 6 (OR 4.68; 95% CI 1.51-14.5; P = .007), tirofiban use (negative factor; OR 0.39; 95% CI 0.18-0.86; P = .020), and first-pass effect (negative factor; OR 0.44; 95% CI 0.19-0.99; P = .047) were independent factors for futile recanalization.ConclusionMore efforts in modifiable factors should be made to improve the efficacy of endovascular recanalization for better clinical outcomes and less futile recanalization in ICA terminus occlusions.

Project description:Rigorous screening and good imaging would help perform surgery on carotid artery occlusion CAO safely and effectively. The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate carotid endarterectomy (CEA) recanalization in patients with common carotid artery occlusion (CCAO) or internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) with color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI). A total of 59 patients undergoing CEA were enrolled. According to the results of CEA, the patients were divided into successful recanalization (group A) and unsuccessful recanalization (group B) groups. The original diameter, lesion length, proximal-to-distal diameter ratio and echo characteristics of the lesion within the lumen of the carotid artery were recorded before CEA and compared between the two groups. In regards to the achievement of repatency by CEA, the overall success rate was 74.6% (44/59), the success rate in CCAO patients was 75.9% (22/29) and the success rate in ICAO patients was 73.3% (22/30). There was no significant difference in the success rates between the CCAO and ICAO patients (χ2 = 0.050, P = 0.824). The overall rate of stroke and death within 30 postoperative days was 5.1% (3/59). For the CCAO patients, the lesion length in group A was shorter than that in group B (t = 3.221, P = 0.004). For the ICAO patients, the original diameter of the distal ICA was broader (t = 6.254, P = 0.000) and the proximal-to-distal ICA diameter ratio was smaller (t = 8.036, P = 0.000) in group A than in group B. The rate of recanalization for lumens with a homogeneous echo pattern (hypoecho or isoecho) was significantly higher than that for lumens with echo heterogeneity for both the CCAO and ICAO patients (χ2 = 14.477, P = 0.001; χ2 = 10.519, P = 0.003). However, for both the CCAO and ICAO patients, there was no difference in the rate of recanalization between patients with hypoecho and isoecho lesions (χ2 = 0.109, P = 0.742; χ2 = 0.836, P = 0.429). The original diameter, proximal-to-distal ICA diameter ratio, lesion length and echo characteristics may affect the success of CEA recanalization in patients with CCAO and ICAO. CDFI is helpful in screening patients with carotid artery occlusion and may improve the success rate of CEA.
