CLINICAL PROTOCOL 2007- 110 patientswithintravenousthrombolysis, 2007 AHA, 2009 ESO guidelines NECT examination PATIENT EmergencyDepartment: physical, neurologicalexamination, laboratorytests no CTA,CTP CT positive (hemorrhage, tumour, stb.) over3 (4.5) hours within 3 (4.5) hours yes MCA or T occlusionor BA occlusion MCA or T occlusionor BA occlusion Admissiontoneurologydepartmentorotherdepartment no yes no yes Admissiontoneurologydepartmentorotherdepartment IVT-IAT bridging IVT IAT
RADIOLOGICAL PROTOCOL • Unenhanced CT examination • -exlusion of hemorrhage • Perfusion CT examination • -strokeradiologicaldiagnosis • -therapeuticplan (perfusiondamagedarea’ssize and viablearea’sproportion) • CT angiography • -site of theocclusion • -evaluation of thecarotidsystem ( intraarteriallysis) • Contrastenhanced CT examination • - Contraindication of thrombolysis (luxusperfusion, otherpathologicalenhancedareas-tumours) • Followup CT examination (24, 48 hours) • - hemorrhagiccomplications • - size of finallydamagedarea
DATABASE • 30 patients17 females, 13 malesAge 69.8±12.9 years • Time (CT) 107.2±25,1 minutes • Time (thrombolysis) 153.8±32,1 minutes • Riskfactors • Hypertension 82% • Ischaemicheartdisease45% • Atrialfibrillation 36% • Stroke 22% • DM 18% • GroupsbasedonCTA • Main arteryocclusion ICA or T occlusion • MCA primarybranchocclusion • MCA secondary-third-branchocclusion

SUMMARY CTP and CTA studiesareusefulforseveralreasons quick and easilyavailable Diagnosticrole (stroke radiologicaldiagnosis-differentialdiagnosis) Therapeuticrole (settinguptherapeuticplan and foreseeingthetherapeuticefficiency) Considerations - Patientsarrivingwithin 2 hoursatthehospitalhaveremarkablepenumbra - A major part of penumbracan be savedperformingintravenouslysis - Incase of main arteryocclusionnearlythewholepenumbracan be savedwithin 3 hours - Incase of secondarybranchocclusiontheintravenouslysisresultsinoptimalfunctionaloutcome, howeverthewholepenumbra is notsaved IF THE CT PROTOCOL IS NOT ACCURATE FOR ANY REASON MRI EXAMINATION IS NECESSARY
