Direct transfer of acute stroke patients to angiography suites equipped with flat-detector computed tomography: literature review and initial single-centre experience

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: Time is brain! This paradigm is forcing the development of strategies with potential to shorten the time from symptom onset to recanalization. One of these strategies is to transport select patients with acute ischaemic stroke directly to an angio-suite equipped with flat-detector computed tomography (FD-CT) to exclude intracranial haemorrhage, followed directly by invasive angiography and mechanical thrombectomy if large-vessel occlusion (LVO) is confirmed. Aim: To present existing published data about the direct transfer (DT) of stroke patients to angio-suites and to describe our initial experience with this stroke pathway. Methods: We performed a systematic PubMed search of trials that described DT of stroke patients to angio-suites and summarized the results of these trials. In January 2020, we implemented a new algorithm for acute ischaemic stroke care in our stroke centre. Select patients suitable for DT (National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score &gt;=10, time from symptom onset to door &lt;4.5 h) were referred by neurologists directly to an angio-suite equipped with FD-CT. Patients treated using this algorithm were analysed and compared with patients treated using the standard protocol including CT and CT angiography in our centre. Results: We identified seven trials comparing the DT protocol with the standard protocol in stroke patients. Among the 628 patients treated using the DT protocol, 104 (16.5%) did not have LVO and did not undergo endovascular treatment (EVT). All the trials demonstrated a significant reduction in door-to-groin time with DT, compared with the standard protocol. This reduction ranged from 22 min (DT protocol: 33 min; standard protocol: 55 min) to 59 min (DT protocol: 22 min; standard protocol: 81 min). In three of five trials comparing the 90-day modified Rankin scale scores between the DT and standard imaging groups, this reduction in ischaemic time translated into better clinical outcomes, whereas the two other trials reported no such difference in scores. Between January 2020 and October 2021, 116 patients underwent EVT for acute ischaemic stroke in our centre. Among these patients, 65 (56%) met the criteria for DT (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score &gt;10, symptom onset-to-door time &lt;4.5 h), but only 7 (10.8%) were transported directly to the angio-suite. The reasons that many patients who met the criteria were not transported directly to the angio-suite were lack of personnel trained in FD-CT acquisition outside of working hours, ongoing procedures in the angio-suite, contraindication to the DT protocol due to atypical clinical presentation, and neurologist&apos;s decision for obtain complete neurological imaging. All seven patients who were transported directly to the angio-suite had LVOs. The median time from door-to-groin-puncture was significantly lower with the DT protocol compared with the standard protocol {29 min [interquartile range (IQR): 25-31 min] vs. 71 min [IQR: 55-94 min]; P &lt; 0.001}. None of the patients had symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage in the DT protocol group, compared with 7 (6.4%) patients in the standard protocol group. Direct transfer of acute ischaemic stroke patients to the angio-suite equipped with FD-CT seems to reduce the time from patient arrival in the hospital to groin puncture. This reduction in the ischaemic time translates into better clinical outcomes. However, more data are needed to confirm these results.
