2 Learning objectives We provide a pictorial review of a 2 year cohort of patients from a tertiary centre who underwent mechanical thrombectomy in order to: demonstrate normal radiological features post-thrombectomy; highlight the CT characteristics of post-thrombectomy complications and discuss approaches to differentiate between normal evolutional changes and complications. Background Acute ischaemic stroke is characterised by the sudden loss of blood circulation to an area of the brain, resulting in a corresponding loss of neurologic function. It is a devastating disease and is the leading cause of chronic disability and the second leading cause of dementia in the western world. It also has very high direct and indirect financial costs. Early recanalization is one of the most important factors to reduce tissue at risk and reverse neurologic deficits. Computer Tomography Angiogram (CTA) holds a key role in the management of patients with acute ischaemic stroke. In particular, in those with hyperattenuated vessel on noncontrast CT as this is a marker of a proximally located thrombus that may not respond to standard IV lysis. The role of the CTA is to demonstrate the site of vessel occlusion, determine the extent of the clot. In addition, CTA scoring systems such as the clot burden score and collateral score are useful tools to predict the clinical outcome after recanalization. Thrombolysis with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for acute ischemic stroke especially in patient with distal occlusion and smaller clot extent. However, there is a substantial risk of cerebral hemorrhage when thrombolytic agents are used in the setting of cerebral ischemia. In selected patients (Fig. 1 on page 3) with acute ischaemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion and/or increased clot length, mechanical thrombectomy ( Fig. 2 on page 3) is now considered the gold standard treatment to achieve rapid and complete reperfusion.

3 Since the publication of the NICE guidelines on mechanical thrombectomy for treating acute ischaemic stroke in February 2016, we anticipate an increase in the frequency of such procedures. As per national guidelines a 24 hours post intervention CT head is performed as routine practice. Images for this section: Fig. 1: Eligibility criteria for thrombectomy.

5 Findings and procedure details Between June 2014 and June 2016, 50 patients (mean age, 64 ± 17 years) underwent mechanical thrombectomy at our centre. Of the 50 patients, 39 presented with MCA occlusion, 4 with a combination of a MCA and ICA occlusions and 7 with basilar artery occlusion. 30 patients (60% of the total) received intravenous thrombolysis prior to the thrombectomy (Fig. 3 on page 23 ). We reviewed all post-operative CT imaging in order to determine the accuracy of reporting with regards to reported complications as oppose to normal changes. Ischaemic changes The momentary loss of cerebral blood flow causes ischaemia in the affected vessel territory which will maturate after recanalization (Fig. 4 on page 24, Fig. 5 on page 25, Fig. 6 on page 26). Basal ganglionic infarction before thrombectomy is associated with a worse prognosis and higher rates of haemorrhage after intervention. However, caudate head and anterior lentiform nucleus infarctions are commonly identified post mechanical thrombectomy and seem to have little clinical impact ( Fig. 7 on page 27, Fig. 8 on page 28).

A CTA (d,e,f) demonstrated attenuated blood flow within the left MCA (white arrow). 24 hours post thrombectomy CT (g,h,i) shows left insular low attenuation consistent with ischaemia/infarction (yellow arrow). The prior left MCA thrombus has been removed in the interim and this vessel is no longer hyperdense (green arrow). References: Leeds General infirmary - Leeds/UK Page 6 of 44

CTA (e,f,g,h)confirms occlusion of the proximal left middle cerebral artery (red arrow). 24 hours post thrombectomy NECT (i,j,k,l) shows ischaemic changes in the left corpus striatum infarction (yellow arrow). References: Leeds General infirmary - Leeds/UK Haemorrhagic transformation ( Fig. 9 on page 29, Fig. 10 on page 30, Fig. 11 on page 31, Fig. 12 on page 32, Fig. 13 on page 33) Haemorrhagic transformation of acute ischaemic stroke is a complex and multifactorial phenomenon. After the onset of ischaemia, there is disruption of the blood-brain barrier, and cerebral autoregulation. Additional thrombolytic on board may predispose to extravasation when the ischaemic tissue is eventually reperfused. There is trend toward increased haemorrhage rate as the time between stroke and vessel recanalization increases. Mechanical thrombectomy is associated with higher haemorrhage rates, perhaps as a result of combination of mechanical manipulation of the blood vessel and increased reperfusion rate. Page 10 of 44
11 Fig. 9: 63 year old male admitted with left hemiparesis. NECT on admission (a,b,c) demonstrated hyperdense right MCA (red arrow). CTA (d,e,f) shows opacification of the right MCA (black arrow) with poor contrast enhancement distally reflecting right MCA thrombus. 24 hours post thrombectomy NECT (g,h,i) shows extensive right hemispheric loss of grey-white differentiation consistent with a large MCA territory Infarction and haemorrhagic transformation.

CTA (d,e) imaging demonstrated a filling defect within the left MCA. The perfusion scan (l,m) shows increase in mean transit time in the MCA territory with a small central core in the basal ganglia (white arrow) suggesting a large area of mismatch perfusion deficit. 24 hours post thrombectomy NECT (I,j,k) shows low density in the left internal capsule and insula region associated with haemorrhagic transformation of the left lentiform nucleus (black arrow).

15 Fig. 13: 88 year old female, admitted with left hemiparesis, NIHSS 25 NCET (a,b,c,d) acquired on admission shows hyperdense left MCA. CTA imaging (e,f,g,h) shows occlusion of the right ICA to origin (red arrows) and thrombus is seen extending into the proximal right MCA(yellow arrows). 24 hours post thrombectomy NECT (I,j,k,l) shows right-sided MCA territory infarction, with new high attenuation foci seen within this region in keeping with haemorrhage. 2 weeks post thrombectomy NECT (m,n,o,p) shows on-going maturation of right MCA territory infarction. References: Leeds General infirmary - Leeds/UK Haemorrhage/contrast stained areas ( Fig. 14 on page 34, Fig. 15 on page 35, Fig. 16 on page 36, Fig. 17 on page 37) These lesions are commonly seen after intra-arterial thrombolysis. These have been considered a risk factor for haemorrhagic transformation and symptomatic haemorrhage. However, their significance after mechanical thrombectomy alone remains uncertain. They can have similar appearances to haemorrhagic strokes/transformations and may even co-exist and may be frequently misinterpreted by less experienced radiologists. Page 15 of 44

References: Leeds General infirmary - Leeds/UK Subarachnoid haemorrhage ( Fig. 18 on page 38, Fig. 19 on page 39) Subarachnoid haemorrhage after mechanical thrombectomy usually occurs in complicated cases.

NECT(a,b,c,d) performed on admission shows a hyperdense intraluminal thrombus (yellow arrow) within the basilar artery consistent with acute basilar artery thrombosis.

A NECT (a,b,c) performed on admission shows increased attenuation in branches of right MCA (white arrow) with slight low attenuation of right insula (yellow arrow) suggestive of early right MCA infarction with proximal vessel thrombosis. Angiography pre thrombectomy shows occlusion of the right MCA (d). Final angiography post thrombectomy (e,f) shows a stent deployed in the distal right ICA (black arrow) and TICI grade 1 perfusion into several proximal MCA branches. 24 hours post thrombectomy NECT (g,h,i) shows evolution of right the MCA infarct with loss of grey-white matter differentiation and hypoattenuation affecting the majority of right MCA territory (blue arrow).

43 Conclusion Mechanical thrombectomy changes the clinical and radiological course of acute stroke due to large vessel occlusion. Familiarisation with the post intervention CT changes and complications, particularly distinguishing contrast extravasation from haemorrhage is crucial in patient management.
