摘要

Background

Endovascular treatment (EVT) is among the first line therapies for symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS) patients, while post-EVT stroke hinders its efficacy. Thromboelastography (TEG), shows promise in predicting stroke events, yet research gaps exist regarding the role of TEG in post-EVT sICAS patients. This study adopts a retrospective case–control research method to explore the effectiveness of TEG in predicting stroke events after EVT.

Methods

Patients receiving EVT and a dual antiplatelet regimen for sICAS between September 1, 2020, and April 30, 2023, at Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, were enrolled in this study. TEG parameters were measured 7 days after dual antiplatelet regimen. Post-EVT strokes are defined as newly onset neurologic impairment and radiology changes after surgery. Multivariable logistic regression models were constructed to predict postoperative stroke occurrence.

Results

A total of 561 patients remained eligible for analysis, including 29 (5.2%) and 18 (3.2%) patients experienced ischemic strokes and hemorrhagic strokes after EVT. Multivariable analysis showed that ADP%, a TEG parameter, was an independent predictor for post-EVT ischemic events (OR = 0.642, 95% CI 0.425–0.971, P = 0.036). Logistic regression model that includes TEG parameters shows better predictive performance (ROC–AUC = 0.74) than the model including only baseline information (ROC–AUC = 0.70).

Conclusions

In people with sICAS, 25% decreased ADP% may be associated with higher post-EVT ischemic stroke risk. The integration of TEG parameters may enhance the accuracy of predicting post-EVT ischemic stroke.
