Impact on Endovascular Thrombectomy for Acute Ischemic Stroke of Aortic Arch Calcification on Chest X-ray

Background: Vascular conditions can affect the recanalization rates after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Chest radiography can assess the conditions of the aortic arch based on the presence or absence of aortic arch calcification (AoAC). The aim of this study was to...

description Background: Vascular conditions can affect the recanalization rates after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Chest radiography can assess the conditions of the aortic arch based on the presence or absence of aortic arch calcification (AoAC). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between AoAC on chest radiography and first-pass successful recanalization (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b/3 after the first-pass). Methods: We compared the rate of first-pass successful recanalization between patients with and without AoAC. A total of 193 patients with anterior circulation occlusion who underwent EVT between January 2017 and December 2021 were included. Results: AoAC was observed in 80 (41.5%) patients. Patients with AoAC were older (74.5 ± 7.78 vs. 63.9 ± 12.4 years, <i>p</i> < 0.001), had more EVT attempts (3.04 ± 1.95 vs. 2.01 ± 1.34 times, <i>p</i> < 0.001), and a longer procedural time (71.7 ± 31.2 vs. 48.7 ± 23.1 min, <i>p</i> < 0.001) than those without AoAC. Moreover, Patients with AoAC showed a lower incidence of first-pass successful recanalization (18.8% vs. 47.8%, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and a higher incidence of postprocedural hemorrhage (45.0% vs. 27.7%, <i>p</i> = 0.015) than those without AoAC. On multivariate analysis, AoAC was independently associated with first-pass successful recanalization (odds ratio: 0.239 [0.121–0.475], <i>p</i> < 0.001). Conclusions: AoAC on chest radiography can be used as a preoperative predictor of successful first-pass recanalization in patients undergoing EVT for AIS.
