The authors of this study utilized CT perfusion (CTP) to assess blood brain barrier integrity and to help predict which patients are at risk of hemorrhagic transformation after receiving tPA and/or mechanical thrombectomy. MRI. Damage can occur quickly due to the pressure of increasing amounts of blood or because of the blood itself. A-D: initial head CT did not show any hyper-intense on the day of symptom onset. The bleeding may occur in the gastrointestinal tract, peritoneal cavity, or from fluid collections in the pancreatic parenchyma . World J. Radiol. 8 Pages. Prediction of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke could help determine treatment and prognostication. Key Points Quantification of iodine leak derived from short-term unenhanced follow-up dual-energy head CT scans obtained after contrast-enhanced whole-body CT scans at admission was associated with in-hospital mortality and short-term outcome for traumatic hemorrhagic contusions at hospital discharge (disability rating scale and Rancho Los Amigos scale). Early hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of the infarct occurs in 5.9% (Valentino et al., 2017) to 50.81% (Wei et. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of acute ischemic stroke is a serious complication of IVT and occurs in 4.5–68.0% of clinical cases. Conclusions. Hemorrhagic transformation is a lethal complication of reperfusion treatment in acute ischemic stroke and is associated with increased mortality and Perfusion CT for prediction of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis | springermedizin.de Hemorrhagic transformation on brain computed tomography (CT) is classified into two broad categories: hemorrhagic infarction (HI) and parenchymal hematoma (PH). Hemorrhagic transformation is a lethal complication of reperfusion treatment in acute ischemic stroke and is associated with increased mortality and a poor clinical outcome [].Several factors are known to be associated with hemorrhagic transformation, including the etiology of stroke, NIHSS score, age, and the use of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) [2,3,4]. The better collateral status is … Medline , Google Scholar REFERENCE. Within seconds to minutes after the onset of ischemia, there is a reduction in ATP and a subsequent cessation of Na+-K+ATPase activity (Rossi et al., 2007). Both cause parts of the brain to stop functioning properly. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Prediction of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke could help determine treatment and prognostication. “Development of an extended CT stroke protocol may be more practical in the acute setting because it is the modality of choice for the initial investigation,” they concluded. Its prognostic value is controversial. With the increasing ratio of E lesion volume to perfusion lesion volume, there was an increased likelihood of hemorrhage and an … "Stroke Series" video 6 of 7: Haemorrhagic transformation of ischaemic stroke. Transformation is rare in the first 6 hours and is detected in about only 5% of cardioembolic strokes on initial CT scans done within 24 … Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of acute ischemic stroke is an undesirable complication that occurs in 2.2%–44.0% of clinical cases (, 1 –, 4) and in up to 70% of pathology cases (, 5). METHODS: We retrospectively … Does computed tomography permeability predict hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke? 2016 8;6: 594-599. • Hemorrhagic transformation is a complication of ischemic stroke; it occurs in about 10% of patients. The interobserver reliability of CT-scan HT classification is evaluated in the present study. CT scan findings: The first non-contrast axial CT brain (A) shows a subtle hypodensity in the right frontal region. This hemorrhagic transformation occurs because all tissue downstream of an ischemic stroke becomes ischemic—brain and vasculature. MRI can distinguish between the hemorrhagic transformation of infarct and primary hemorrhage. Inter-reader agreement of any hemorrhagic transformation 24 h after EVT had a κ value of 0.81 on mixed images, and a κ value of 0.73 on VNC images, respectively. Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2012. Prescribed Study Treatments: Patients in whom dabigatran is initiated within 14 days of TIA/stroke symptom onset will be included in the registry. “Development of an extended CT stroke protocol may be more practical in the acute setting because it is the modality of choice for the initial investigation,” they concluded. In the remaining seven pa- tients with positive CT and MR findings, two had similar ratings by using both modalities, four had a one-category upward shift from CT to MR imaging, and one. Stroke 2013. Our results indicate that hemorrhagic transformation in cerebral embolism is caused not only by reopening of the occluded vessels but also by other factors such as age and size of the infarct. Once hemorrhagic transformation occurs, there are limited treatment options. Here, we sought to review the rates of hemorrhagic transformation in the major clinical … Typical appearances of hemorrhagic transformation following a large MCA territory stroke. These vessels may leak, resulting in petechial hemorrhage, or burst, resulting in a hematoma. Hemorrhagic transformation is most likely in the first days to a week after stroke. This is why clinical worsening in an ischemic stroke patient should be immediately evaluated with noncontrast head CT. [8, 10, 19] Hemorrhagic transformation is also more likely following administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) in patients whose noncontrast computed tomography (CT) … 2016 8;6: 594-599. Stroke 2013. Minimal compression effect to ipsilateral lateral ventricle and effacemen of adjacent cerebral sulci also seen. About 20 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic strokes. Between 0.5-3% of ischemic stroke patients will undergo hemorrhagic transformation with petechial hemorrhage much more common the hematomas. Introduction. Comparison of CT and three MR sequences for detecting and categorizing early (48 hours) hemorrhagic transformation in hyperacute ischemic stroke. Anticoagulant and thrombolytic agents increase the incidence of hemorrhagic transformation. In conclusion, the development of postthrombolytic hemorrhagic transformation requires multiple and interconnected pathological processes, including ischemic injury, coagulopathy, disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and reperfusion injury. Only CBV was found to be lower and predictive of hemorrhagic transformation. Use of Noncontrast Computed Tomography and Computed Tomographic Perfusion in Predicting Intracerebral Hemorrhage After Intravenous Alteplase Therapy. With increasing numbers of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing multimodal CT imaging, we examined whether CT perfusion could predict hemorrhagic transformation … That means more potentially salvageable tissue when the patient undergoes rtPA treatment. High-permeability region size on perfusion CT predicts hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis in stroke. R. Abstract. Findings on 24- to 36- hour CT were classified into 5 categories: no hemorrhagic transformation, HI types 1 and 2, and PH types 1 and 2. Prediction of Poststroke Hemorrhagic Transformation Using Computed Tomography Perfusion. In principle, it is difficult to differentiate parenchymal hyperdensity resulting from contrast staining from hemorrhagic transformation on immediate postinterventional CT (<24 hours) due to the similar Hounsfield densities of the lesions. 1 INTRODUCTION. Each This is estimated to occur in 5% of uncomplicated ischemic strokes, in … We sought to investigate gadolinium enhancement in acute ischemic stroke patients to determine their association with subsequent HT. 6 Repeat CT scan images ( a , pons level; b , ganglionic level) after clinical worsening showing de novo hemorrhagic transformation with significant mass effect and extension into the ventricular system We assessed the risk of concomitant neurological deterioration and of 3-month death and disability Background and purpose: Diagnosis of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) could influence the prognosis and the management of acute ischemic stroke. Hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke is an often underdiagnosed phenomenon. With increasing and widespread use of tPA and with improved imaging capabilities afforded by newer sequences on MRI, it is now possible to predict which patients might be at increased risk of clinically significant hemorrhagic transformation. eCollection 2017. Background and purpose: Prediction of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke could help determine treatment and prognostication. To determine whether admission computed tomography (CT) perfusion-derived permeability-surface area product (PS) maps differ between patients with hemorrhagic acute stroke and those with nonhemorrhagic acute stroke. Gradient echo (GRE) imaging is as good as CT in the detection of acute bleed. Methods: Data were obtained from the Canadian Alteplase for Stroke Effectiveness Study. Hemorrhagic transformation of an infarct is a rare (3.6 %) complication in the acute phase. • The spectrum of hemorrhagic transformation ranges from minor petechial bleeding (hemorrhagic infarct) to major mass-producing hemorrhage (parenchymal hematoma). Does computed tomography permeability predict hemorrhagic transformation after ischemic stroke? With increasing numbers of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing multimodal CT imaging, we examined whether CT perfusion could predict hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke. Stroke 2013. It is thought to be due to reperfusion of ischemic tissue during the first 2 weeks, occurring more commonly in larger infarcts and cardioembolic infarcts. Findings on 24- to 36- hour CT were classified into 5 categories: no hemorrhagic transformation, HI types 1 and 2, and PH types 1 and 2. Admission CT Perfusion Is an Independent Predictor of Hemorrhagic Transformation in Acute Stroke with Similar Accuracy to DWI. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT), which refers to a spectrum of ischemia-related brain hemorrhage, is a frequent spontaneous complication of ischemic stroke, ... computed tomography (CT) images, whereas PH refers to a more homogeneous, dense hematoma with mass effect. It is usually seen in the first few days, the majority within 4 days of infarction. We aimed to develop a tool, the hemorrhagic transformation (HT) index (HTI), to predict any HT within 14 days after middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke onset regardless of the intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV rtPA) use. High blood-brain barrier permeability and hypoperfusion status derived from perfusion CT are associated with hemorrhagic transformation. Background and Purpose —The term symptomatic hemorrhage secondary to ischemic stroke implies a clear causal relationship between clinical deterioration and hemorrhagic transformation (HT) regardless of the type of HT. The sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values of hyperdensity on FP-CT for hemorrhagic transformation were 96%, 84%, 72%, and 98%, respectively. The presence of hyperdensity on FP-CT can predict hemorrhagic transformation with a high sensitivity and negative predictive value. • Perfusion CT has moderate diagnostic performance for the prediction of hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke. From the case: Hemorrhagic transformation of MCA infarct. Twenty percent of their subjects developed hemorrhagic transformation and these patients did not differ from controls in terms of age, gender, time to presentation, or comorbidities. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2010 ; 32: 41 – 48 . Finally, the systematic collection of clinical and imaging data will allow us to determine any risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation associated with early anticoagulation. The HU max of hyperdensity on FP-CT can predict hemorrhagic transformation with an area under the curve of 0.805 (95% CI: 0.67-0.94, ). MRI can detect underlying causes of secondary hemorrhages, such as vascular malformations, including cavernomas, tumors, and cerebral vein thrombosis. AJNR Am J Neuroradiol 2004 ;25:939–944. DOI: 10.1111/j.1552-6569.2010.00562.x Corpus ID: 41254316. World J. Radiol. Hemorrhagic transformation of acute ischemic stroke is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon. Intracerebral hemorrhage is a feared complication of thrombolysis that has been shown to be associated with increased mortality. PLoS One. CT performed 1 month post "stroke" Axial non-contrast More substantial cortical laminar necrosis with ribbon-like hyperdensity along the entire affected cortex. Here, we sought to review the rates of hemorrhagic transformation in the major clinical trials of AIS intervention. Since the reviewed clinical trials vary significantly in terms of study design, eligibility criteria, stroke severity, and baseline demographic data, direct comparisons between the various trials is not valid. Any type of hemorrhagic transformation occurred in 41% of the patients who died during hospitalization, versus 17% of the patients who survived, p = 0.002. Axial non-contrast. Yen P, Cobb A, Shankar JJS. There are two main types of stroke: ischemic, due to lack of blood flow, and hemorrhagic, due to bleeding. Hemorrhagic stroke occurs when blood vessels in the brain leak or rupture, causing bleeding in or around the brain. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0188238. Patients were assigned to groups according to whether they had hemorrhage transformation (HT) at fol-low-up magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT and/or whether they received tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) treatment. TIMING OF HEMORRHAGIC TRANSFORMATION The HT of a bland embolic infarct evolves in a dynamic fashion over time. Risk Assessment of Hemorrhagic Transformation of Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke Using Multimodal CT @article{Lin2012RiskAO, title={Risk Assessment of Hemorrhagic Transformation of Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke Using Multimodal CT}, author={Ke Lin and W. Zink and A. Tsiouris and M. John and L. Tekchandani and P. … Asymptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (AHT) was defined as evidence of bleeding on MRI or CT scan without clinical evidence of neurological deterioration. Area of increased mean transit time (MTT) and normal cerebral blood flow in the right frontoparietal lobes is in keeping with an area of penumbra in the right middle cerebral artery territory. Early identification of risk factors for hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke may aid in the selection of patients for thrombolytic therapy. Yen P, Cobb A, Shankar JJS. Yassi N, Parsons MW, Christensen S, Sharma G, Bivard A, Donnan GA, et al. Hemorrhagic transformation of an infarct is a rare (3.6 %) complication in the acute phase. Fig. 2009 Mar; 250(3):867-77. Prediction of Poststroke Hemorrhagic Transformation Using Computed Tomography Perfusion. 1. Subacute right MCA territory infarct with severe surrounding edema exerting mass effect on the right ventricle and subfalcine herniation. In addition, Smith et al reported in 2002 that leukoariosis was independently associated with hemorrhage following … two-phase CT perfusion imaging, which enabled PS mea-surement. Ischemic strokes can develop a hemorrhagic component, especially if they are large or if the degree of ischemia is severe. In principle, it is difficult to differentiate parenchymal hyperdensity resulting from contrast staining from hemorrhagic transformation on immediate postinterventional CT (<24 hours) due to the similar Hounsfield densities of the lesions. Association of CT perfusion parameters with hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke. 6), and a decompression craniectomy was performed. Risk Assessment of Hemorrhagic Transformation of Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke Using Multimodal CT @article{Lin2012RiskAO, title={Risk Assessment of Hemorrhagic Transformation of Acute Middle Cerebral Artery Stroke Using Multimodal CT}, author={Ke Lin and W. Zink and A. Tsiouris and M. John and L. Tekchandani and P. … (c) Axial unenhanced CT 12 hours later shows a large parenchyma hemorrhage within the wedge-shaped area of infarction, consistent with hemorrhagic transformation. In 2001, Molina et al found that delayed recanalization after 6 hours postictus was an independent predictor of hemorrhagic transformation . The hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complication of ischemic stroke. Yassi N, Parsons MW, Christensen S, Sharma G, Bivard A, Donnan GA, et al. While significant advances have been made over the past two decades with regard to emergent treatment of AIS, many of the therapeutic options are limited by an increased risk of hemorrhage. From the case: Petechial hemorrhagic transformation of MCA infarct. Of course, there is increased risk in patients treated with thrombolysis (up to 6%). REFERENCE. The chance of hemorrhagic transformation is higher in patients with hyperdense lesions on FP-CT than that in patients without hyperdense lesions (23/32 vs. 1/49, p < 0.001). In untreated patients, haemorrhagic transformation rarely occurs in the first 6 hours. We assessed the risk of concomitant neurological deterioration and of 3-month death and disability associated with subtypes of hemorrhagic transformation… With increasing numbers of patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing multimodal CT imaging, we examined whether CT perfusion could predict hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke. The four subtypes of hemorrhagic transformation (CT imaging) [253]. [5, 7, 8] Hemorrhagic transformation is also more likely following administration of tPA and with noncontrast CT demonstrating areas of hypodensity (see the image below). Patients were assigned to groups according to whether they had hemorrhage transformation (HT) at follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT and/or whether they received tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) treatment. Stroke 2013. Seyedmehdi Payabvash. In the clinical practice, it is indeed regarded as a complication, since it is the most feared consequence of thrombolytic therapy, although altogether the hemorrhagic transformation occurs quite often after ischemic stroke, between 10-40% depending on the individual Clinical, demographic, and CT perfusion variables were compared between the HT and non-HT patient groups. DOI: 10.1111/j.1552-6569.2010.00562.x Corpus ID: 41254316. Hemorrhagic transformation of ischemic stroke: prediction with CT perfusion. 2017 Nov 28;12(11):e0188238. The HU max of hyperdensity on FP-CT can predict hemorrhagic transformation with an … Pamela Schaefer. Hom, J, Dankbaar, JW, Soares, BP, et al. Predicting Hemorrhagic Transformation Following tPA Using CT and CT Perfusion Images Sami Al Kasab, MD Batchelor C, Pordeli P, d’Esterre CD, Najm M, Al-Ajlan FS, Boesen ME, et al. Haemorrhagic transformation (HT) of brain infarction or hemorrhagic infarction is a complication of acute ischemic stroke, especially in cardioembolic stroke, and represents the most feared complication of thrombolysis. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Early parenchymal gadolinium enhancement on T1-weighted MR images is predictive of hemorrhagic transformation (HT) in rodent focal ischemia models, but its value in humans is unknown. Published predictive scores of hemorrhagic transformations HTI: Hemorrhagic Transformation Index ScoreASPECTS: Alberta Stroke Program Early CT ScoreiScore: Ischemic Stroke Predictive Risk ScoreHAT: hemorrhage after thrombolysisHeRS: Hemorrhage Risk Stratification ScoreSEDAN: Blood Sugar [glucose] on admission, Early infarct signs and [hyper] Dense cerebral artery … Hemorrhagic transformation represents the conversion of an ischemic infarction into an area of hemorrhage. In addition, Smith et al reported in 2002 that leukoariosis was independently associated with hemorrhage following … 1 Hemorrhagic transformation of infarcted brain tissue 2 Intracerebral hemorrhage within and beyond infarcted brain tissue ... HAT NIHSS, diabetes or glucose, early CT hypodensity (0-5 pts) 0.59-0.79 SEDAN Age, NIHSS, glucose, hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign, early CT hypodensity (0-5 pts) The pooled sensitivity and specificity were 84% (95% CI, 71-91%) and 74% (95% CI, 67-81%), respectively. The aim of this study was to assess which type of HT independently affects clinical outcome. In the remaining seven pa- tients with positive CT and MR findings, two had similar ratings by using both modalities, four had a one-category upward shift from CT to MR imaging, and one. Inter-reader agreement of any hemorrhagic transformation 3 days after EVT had a κ value of 0.71 on conventional non-contrast CT. The patient went on to recieve tPA. Admission CT Perfusion Is an Independent Predictor of Hemorrhagic Transformation in Acute Stroke with Similar Accuracy to DWI. Radiology. on FP-CT for hemorrhagic transformation were 96%, 84%, 72%, and 98%, respectively. Significant haemorrhagic transformation of a cerebral infarct usually manifests in a rapid and often profound deterioration in clinical state. The aim of our study was to determine the infarct core CT perfusion parameter (CTPP) most predictive of HT. The likelihood of hemorrhagic transformation with the absolute E lesion volume restricted to the perfusion lesion (DT3 seconds). Clinical, demographic, and CT perfusion vari- PURPOSE. CT. Because hemorrhagic transformation affects treatment and patient prognosis, these authors explored whether CT perfusion predicts it. Patients were assigned to groups according to whether they had hemorrhage transformation (HT) at follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and CT and/or whether they received tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) treatment. Clinical, demographic, and CT perfusion variables were compared between the HT and non-HT patient groups. E: 4 days after the symptom onset, hemorrhagic transformation involving the right parietal infarction lesion was found. Finally, 31 patients were excluded: 22 patients with known or suspected secondary ICH (ischemic stroke with hemorrhagic transformation, vascular malformation, aneurysm, malignancy, and trauma), 3 patients with primary IVH, 5 patients with blurred CT images, and 1 … Head computed tomography (CT) scans found recurrent multiple-site hemorrhagic transformations. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT), either in control groups or after thrombolytic treatment, has been assessed in recent large clinical trials in acute stroke, with systematic admission and control CT scan assessment. It is thought to be due to reperfusion of ischemic tissue during the first 2 weeks, occurring more commonly in larger infarcts and cardioembolic infarcts. Intracerebral hemorrhage is a feared complication of thrombolysis that has been shown to be associated with increased mortality.
