[Abstract] Objective To investigate the value of ischemic core volume (ICV) combined with the relative perfusion ratio before endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in evaluating vascular recanalization and outcome in acute stroke.Materials and Methods A total of 200 acute ischemic stroke patients in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent MRI examination before therapy within 24 h. Perfusion weighting ICV (pw-ICV) was defined as ICV multiply by relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF). Complete recanalization was assessed by mTICI grading (0-2a: incomplete recanalization; 2b-3: complete recanalization); the outcome was evaluated by using mRS score at 3 months (0-2 score: good outcome; 3-6 score: poor outcome). Statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the value of pw-ICV in predicting vascular recanalization and outcome.Results Compared with incomplete revascularization group (n=68), the complete revascularization group had a smaller ICV before therapy was (27.31±19.18 vs. 54.45±29.87) and smaller pw-ICV (103.82±77.46 vs. 216.20±88.19), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the outcome group (n=129), the good outcome group (n=71) had a lower NIHSS score (15.71±6.18 vs. 18.27±6.37), smaller ICV before therapy (28.42±17.38 vs. 53.51±28.79) and smaller pw-ICV (113.27±79.61 vs. 221.07±87.37) and higher recanalization rate (89.15% vs. 23.94%), the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Logistic multiple logistic regression analysis showed that pw-ICV (OR 0.930; 95% CI: 0.854-1.465; P=0.016) was an independent predictor of recanalization in acute stroke; pw-ICV (OR 0.971; 95% CI: 0.551-1.865; P=0.025) and complete recanalization (OR 5.26; 95% CI: 1.572-13.179; P=0.037) were independent predictor of the outcome in acute stroke.Conclusions pw-ICV plays an important role in recanalization and outcome of acute ischemic stroke before EVT therapy.
