Q

Infarct definition

A

Pathologic/Radiologic

  • Brain cell death attributable to ischemia based on neuropathological, neuroimaging and/or clinical evidence of permanent injury
34
Q

Hemorrhagic infarct

A

popped vessel

35
Q

Ischemic infarct

A

Blocked vessel

36
Q

Venous infarct

A

blocked or popped vein

37
Q

Transient ischemic attack

A

clinical diagnosis

temporary blocked vessel/temporary neurologic deficit (<1 hour)

38
Q

Acute ischemia accounts for what % of all stroke?

39
Q

Ischemic stroke scale

40
Q

How is imaging helpful in stroke?

A

CT, MRI: Bleed or no bleed

CT, MRI, cerebral perfusion imaging: How large is the infarction? is there salvageable brain?

CTA, MRA, catheter angiogram: is there a large vessel occlusion

41
Q

The primary goal for imaging in stroke is to?

A
  • Rapidly identify and triage patients for appropriate therapeutic intervention
  • Time = brain
  • Imaging approach dependent on resources and expertise
42
Q

Recent imaging clinical trials

A

Recent clinical trials

  • Endovascular thrombectomy in large vessel occlusions
  • Expanded time window for therapy (role for cerebral perfusion imaging)
43
Q

How is CT of head helpful?

A

bleed or no bleed

no large-volume infarction

44
Q

No intracranial hemorrhage nor large volume infarction =

45
Q

How is CTA head and neck helpful?

A
  • Cardiac embolus
  • Atheromatous plaque
  • Vascular injury
  • Aneurysm
46
Q

Proximal accessible large vessel occlusion =

A

endovascular thrombectomy

47
Q

Aneurysm treatment

A

Surgical clipping or endovascular coiling
