1 Acute Ischemic Stroke Imaging Ronald L. Wolf, MD, PhD Associate Professor of Radiology

2 Title of First Slide of Substance An Illustrative Case 2

3 Disclosures No financial disclosures Off-label uses of some products (e.g., bolus gadolinium perfusion) Some MR perfusion images created for display/educational purposes using PMA image analysis software (copyright owner: Kohsuke Kudo) provided by ASIST-JAPAN) or RAPID software for academic or research purposes and cannot be used for clinical evaluation. 3

4 Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) Imaging The basics Advanced imaging options Perfusion imaging in practice, yes or no? 4

5 Stroke Lay term for sudden loss of neurologic function ( brain attack ) Two major categories Ischemic (80-85%) Hemorrhagic (10-15%) Third largest cause of mortality, leading cause of morbidity in the US 5

6 Treatment Options Approved treatment IV tpa: infarct < 3 (4.5) hours Mechanical: Merci > Penumbra > Solitaire, Trevo (stent retrievers) <6 hours Off label IV tpa after 3 (4.5) hours, IA tpa < 6 hours (longer for basilar occlusion) Greatest benefit Low thrombus burden/small vessel, good collaterals, lack of extended infarct 6

7 TICI Grade Assessment of EVT technical outcome Modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) grade Grade 0: no antegrade perfusion Grade 1: perfusion past initial obstruction but limited distal branch filling with little or slow distal perfusion Grade 2: 2a: perfusion of < 50% of vascular distribution of occluded artery 2b: perfusion of 50% of vascular distribution of the occluded artery Grade 3: full perfusion with filling of all distal branches Grade 2b/3: better clinical outcome than 2a mrs 0-2: 49 vs 34% D/C home: 41 vs 17% Marks et al. JNIS 2014 Jayaraman et al. AJNR

8 Goals: Diagnostic Imaging in AIS At minimum: Exclude hemorrhage (and obvious non-stroke disorders) usually NECT, MRI if possible Evaluate location and extent of infarct/edema (e.g., > 1/3 MCA territory?) NECT or better DWI 8

9 Not AIS 9

10 Not AIS Chorea - Toxoplasmosis Pt. 1 Pt. 2 HA, MS - PRES Chorea - Toxoplasmosis HA, MS - PRES 10

11 Acute Aphasia, 2 hours from onset 11

12 Determinants of Outcome Symptom severity NIHSS>10 poor prognosis without successful treatment NIHSS<5 favorable Infarct core size > ml less favorable Arteries involved Basilar, proximal MCA, ICA less favorable Small branch, presence of collaterals favorable Treatment/recanalization Score (NIHSS) Stroke Severity 0 No Symptoms 0-4 Minor 5-15 Moderate Moderate to Severe Severe 12

13 Outcome: ASPECTS Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) 10 point topographic CT score Quantify/score early ischemic changes ASPECTS 7 poor functional outcome and symptomatic hemorrhage Barber et al, Lancet 2000; 355; 1670 Hill et al, AJNR 2006; 27:1612 Hill et al. AJNR

14 Outcome: ASPECTS M1 C L I IC M2 M3 M4 M6 M5 ASPECTS = 2 (10-8) 14

15 Outcome: ASPECTS C L IC M1 I M2 M4 M5 M3 M6 15

16 Outcome: BASIS Boston Acute Stroke Imaging Scale (BASIS) Proximal occlusion on CTA or MRA (ICA, M1, M2, and/or basilar) major stroke (BASIS +) If no proximal occlusion, evaluation parenchyma with MR or CT ASPECTS 7 = major stroke (BASIS +) Others are minor stroke (BASIS -) 205 AIS patients, 16 with IV± IA tpa 149 minor, 56 major stroke Majority of BASIS + with poor outcome (death or discharge to rehab facility vs. discharge home) Torres-Mozqueda et al, AJNR 2008; 29: 1111 Fig. from González RG et al, PLoS One. 2012; 7(1): e

Maximize benefit/risk - tissue clock : Accurate assessment of 4 P s Parenchyma, Pipes, Perfusion, Penumbra Target patients who will benefit most from treatment Extend treatment window Minimize risk Rowley, AJNR 2001; 22:

21 Parenchyma: DWI DWI is the optimal method if feasible Only minimal reversibility for acute ischemic infarct Large DWI insult (>70mL) unfavorable with or without recanalization Small DWI insult more favorable, and with target perfusion mismatch more likely to benefit from recanalization 21

51 Perfusion Imaging in AIS Accurately assess dead vs. salvageable? Acute MCA occlusive disease (hours) Chronic MCA occlusive disease (days, weeks, months) 51

52 Value of Perfusion Imaging in AIS Stroke 2009; 40: 3646 Stroke 2010; 41: E25 52

53 Perfusion in AIS: Against Major strokes Most important is rapid ID of occlusion (CTA, MRA) and size of infarct (DWI) Core and penumbra not independent Collaterals link the two Minor strokes or TIA DWI small or none Mild symptoms, small vessel occlusion or partial compensation? Greater value PWI in this setting González RG JMRI 2012;36:259 53

64 2015 AHA/ASA Updated EVT Guidelines Eligible patients should get IV tpa even if EVT considered (Class I, Level A) Should receive EVT with stent retriever if meeting following criteria (Class I, Level A) Pre-stroke mrs 0 to 1 IV tpa within 4.5 hours ICA/M1 occlusion Age at least 18 years NIHSS score at least 6 ASPECTS at least 6 Treatment initiated within 6 hours of onset Powers et al. Stroke

65 2015 AHA/ASA Updated EVT Guidelines TICI 2b/3 reperfusion as early as possible (Class I; Level of Evidence A), preferably within 6 hrs of onset (Class I; Level of Evidence B-R) Effectiveness of EVT initiated >6hrs of onset uncertain. Additional data needed. (Class IIb; Level of Evidence C) EVT, if completed within 6 hrs of onset, for selected pts with contraindication to IV TPA is reasonable. Additional data needed. (Class IIa; Level of Evidence C) EVT is reasonable for M2/M3, ACA, basilar, PCA in selected pts if initiated within 6 hrs of onset. Additional data needed. (Class IIb; Level of Evidence C) Powers et al. Stroke

66 Conclusions: AIS Imaging Need to: Exclude hemorrhage (and obvious non-stroke disorders) Evaluate location and extent of infarct/edema (e.g., > 1/3 MCA territory?) Want to address 4 P s : Parenchymal injury, Pipes, Perfusion, Penumbra Rationale is to improve safety, target patients who will benefit most from treatment (e.g., with tpa), extend treatment window Comments ronald.wolf@uphs.upenn.edu 66
