| description | Introduction: Stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the globe. Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is the standard of care for patients with large vessel occlusion strokes. However, mechanical thrombectomy is associated with a number of complications. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage is one of the most feared complications of mechanical thrombectomy. In the pooled analysis of five trials, 4.4% of patients developed symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage. Treating physicians should have a good understanding of the potential complications of MT in order to optimize the safety and benefits of this procedure. Yet, the causes of hemorrhagic transformation are largely unknown and the predictors identified in previous studies vary. The goal of our study is to identify the rate and reliable predictors of radiological hemorrhagic transformation (RHT) and symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (sICH) post mechanical thrombectomy in large vessel ischemic strokes. Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of consecutive large vessel occlusion acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy in a comprehensive stroke center (spanning 02/2015 ‐ 09/2018). Outcome measures included radiological hemorrhagic transformation (RHT) and symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (sICH). sICH was defined as RHT with worsening of 4points in 24–36h NIHSS (ECASS II criteria) and by at least 1point (NINDS criteria).RHT was further classified according to Heidelberg‐bleeding classification as HI1, HI2, PH1, PH2, and SAH. Independent covariates predictive of RHT or symptomatic hemorrhage (sICH) were identified with multivariable logistic regression. Clinical opinion and the existing literature were used to reduce the number of variables collected at baseline to those considered potentially predictive of stroke progression. Results: Out of 341 patients who underwent thrombectomy, 32% had a radiological hemorrhagic transformation. The median age was 71. Smoking, IV tPA, longer procedure time, and lower TICI scores were associated with RHT. On a separate multivariate analysis, coronary artery disease was a separate predictor of hemorrhagic transformation. Patients with RHT had higher inpatient mortality and less mRs < 3 at discharge. Conclusions: RHT is associated with poor functional outcomes and inpatient mortality. Factors such as smoking, IV tPA, longer procedure time, and lower TICI scores were associated with RHT. |
