Predictive Multimodal MRI Factors in Subacute Cerebral Artery Occlusiontreated by Thrombectomy (PIMISUTT
Our study aims to measure metabolic and functional parameters of the infarcted territory by multimodal cerebral MRI in patients diagnosed with unilateral proximal occlusion of the middle cerebral artery and treated by thrombectomy in order to correlate those parameters to clinical outcome (evaluated by modified Rankin score) at 3 months.
We aim to find early radiologic predictive factors for favorable clinical outcome in this population of patients.
Inclusion: Patients aged ≥ 18 years old; Hospitalized at the Poitiers University Hospital; Acute middle cerebral artery occlusion diagnosed by CT-scan or MRI; NIHSS score ≥ 6 at admission; To be treated by thrombectomy with or without fibrinolysis; Written information delivered to the patient or his relatives concerning the study and its benefit and risk.
Exclusion: Patients or relatives whom a loyal information about the study cannot be given; Patient with cognitive impairments before MRI; Patients who cannot undergo MRI because of contraindications; Patients too deteriorated to tolerate one hour long exam.
