Contrast Neurotoxicity and its Association with Symptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage After Mechanical Thrombectomy
Clinical neuroradiology(2022)
摘要
Purpose Despite improved techniques and sophisticated postinterventional care, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) remains the most feared complication of mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Based on peri-interventional parameters, we aimed to discover which patients have a higher risk of sICH. Methods From March 2017 until March 2020 consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and confirmed large-vessel occlusion who underwent MT were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic, clinical, and radiological variables and parameters specific to thrombectomy were reviewed. A univariate analysis was performed and statistically significant variables were included in a logistic regression model to identify independent factors predictive of sICH. Results A total of 236 patients with confirmed large-vessel occlusion were included and 22 (9.3%) had sICH. Univariate predictors of sICH included diabetes mellitus, glucose > 11.1 mmol/L, creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73, ASPECTS indicating pretreatment infarct size, acute internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion, stent implantation, tirofiban use, time from symptom onset to groin puncture > 4.5 h and high contrast medium consumption. In the adjusted analysis, ASPECTS < 6 (OR 3.673, p = 0.041), and amount of contrast injected ≥ 140 ml (OR 5.412, p = 0.003) were independent predictors of sICH, but not any more baseline glucose > 11.1 mmol/L (OR 1.467, p = 0.584), CrCl ≤ 30 ml/min/1.73 (OR 4.177, p = 0.069), acute ICA occlusion (OR 2.079, p = 0.181), stent implantation (OR 0.465, p = 0.512), tirofiban use (OR 5.164, p = 0.167), and time from onset-to-groin puncture (OR 1.453, p = 0.514). Conclusion The amount of contrast medium used is a modifiable factor associated with sICH. This association is novel and may be related to the neurotoxicity of the contrast medium disrupting the blood-brain barrier.
