Key result
Pulsatility index assessment offers prognostic and diagnostic insights into cerebral hemodynamics after acute ischemic stroke.
Why the study?
Many patients do not regain complete functional independence despite timely and successful recanalization for acute ischaemic stroke, and the underlying mechanisms of altered cerebral haemodynamics remain to be fully elucidated.
Does pulsatility assessment provide prognostic and diagnostic value in patients with acute ischaemic stroke undergoing recanalization?
Does pulsatility assessment provide prognostic and diagnostic value in patients with acute ischaemic stroke undergoing recanalization?
Pulsatility assessment has potential as a prognostic and diagnostic biomarker for evaluating cerebral haemodynamics after acute ischaemic stroke.
May improve post-recanalization risk stratification in acute ischaemic stroke; extends evidence for pulsatility index in haemodynamic evaluation.
Acute ischaemic stroke is a leading cause of acquired disability globally, with millions of patients afflicted each year. Fast and efficient recanalization therapies have revolutionized long-term patient outcomes. However, a substantial fraction of patients does not regain complete functional independence, despite undergoing timely and successful recanalization. Although various alterations in cerebral haemodynamics have been reported in both animal and clinical studies, the underlying mechanisms are complex and remain to be fully elucidated. In this mini-review, we summarize the current understanding of pulsatile haemodynamics in occlusion-reperfusion and emphasize the potential value of pulsatility assessment as a biomarker with prognostic and diagnostic value in the clinic.
