Article Title: Endovascular stroke treatment using balloon guide catheters may reduce penumbral tissue damage and improve long-term outcome

doi: 10.1007/s00330-020-07260-3

Figure Lengend Snippet: Examples of assessing microstructural integrity of the salvaged penumbra (representative example of RAPID evaluation in CT perfusion imaging). After complete recanalization of an acute occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, MD values of the affected side are lowered in comparison to the contralateral side only for the case of non-BGC usage. BGC, balloon guide catheter

Article Snippet: To identify the tissue at risk (penumbra) in the acute stage immediately before mechanical recanalization, CT perfusion imaging was acquired and post-processed by the fully automated software RAPID (iSchemaView Inc.).

Techniques: Imaging, Comparison

Figure Lengend Snippet: Basic demographic, clinical, and interventional data as well as volume of infarction, incidence of peripheral emboli, and MD index of the non-BGC and BGC groups, subdivided into PROTECT and PROTECT PLUS (see manuscript for technical explanations). Results of group comparisons between non-BGC and BGC groups: “*” indicates statistically significant results on the 5% level (Mann-Whitney U test or chi-squared statistic). mTICI , modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction; NIHSS , National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; mRS , modified Rankin Scale
