PURPOSE: To evaluate the patient and the neurointerventionalist radiation dose levels during endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke, and to analyze factors affecting doses. MATERIALS AND METHODS: From October 2017 to January 2019, we prospectively collected patient radiation data and neurointerventionalist data from real-time dosimetry from all consecutive thrombectomies. Multivariate analysis was performed to analyze patient total dose area product (DAP) and neurointerventionalist dose variability in terms of clinical characteristics and the technical parameters of thrombectomies. Local dose reference levels (RL) were derived as the 75th percentile of the patient dose distributions. RESULTS: A total of 179 patients were treated during the study period and included in this study. Local dose RL for thrombectomy was derived for total DAP to 34 Gy cm2, cumulative air kerma of 242 mGy and fluoroscopy time of 12 min. The mean neurointerventionalist dose for thrombectomy was 7.7 ± 7.4 µSv. Height (P = 0.018), weight (P = 0.004), body mass index (P = 0.015), puncture to recanalisation (P < 0.001), fluoro time (P < 0.001), number of passes (P < 0.001), thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b/3 recanalisation (P = 0.034) and aspiration thrombectomy (P < 0.001) were independent factors affecting patient total DAP, whereas baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (P = 0.043), puncture to recanalisation (P = 0.003), fluoroscopy time (P = 0.009) and number of passes (P = 0.009) were factors affecting the neurointerventionalist dose. CONCLUSION: New reference patient doses lower than those in previously published studies were defined. However, the operator's doses were higher than those in the only available study reporting on operator's dose during cerebral interventions.
