ABSTRACT
In acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion, the characteristics of the occluding thrombus on neuroimaging may be associated with recanalization after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT); however, the relationship between magnetic susceptibility of thrombus and clinical outcome remains unclear. We utilized quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI to assess the magnetic susceptibility of thrombus in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing EVT, and to evaluate its relationship with recanalization and functional outcomes. Patients with documented intracranial artery occlusion were consecutively recruited from one research center of the RESCUE-RE study (a registration study for Critical Care of Acute Ischemic Stroke After Recanalization). All the recruited patients underwent a 3D multi-echo MRI scan on a 3.0 T scanner for both susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) and QSM quantification of the thrombus. Among 61 patients included in the analyses, 51 (75.0 %) patients achieved thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 2b/3 and 22 (36.1 %) patients had favorable functional outcomes. Successful recanalization was significantly associated with a higher thrombus magnetic susceptibility mean value (0.27 ± 0.09 vs 0.20 ± 0.09 ppm, p = 0.020) and lower coefficient of variation (0.42 ± 0.12 vs 0.52 ± 0.19, p = 0.024). ROC curve analysis showed the optimal cutoff value for thrombus susceptibility for predicting good clinical outcomes was 0.25 ppm (sensitivity 86.4 %, specificity 69.2 %). In multivariable logistic regression analyses, increased thrombus magnetic susceptibility was independently and significantly associated with good functional outcomes (adjusted odds ratio 15.11 [95 % confidence interval 2.64-86.46], p = 0.002). This study demonstrated that the increased thrombus magnetic susceptibility is associated with successful recanalization and favorable functional outcomes for intracranial artery occluded stroke patients.
