Infarct-core CT perfusion parameters in predicting post-thrombolysis hemorrhagic transformation of acute ischemic stroke

[摘要] BackgroundIntravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is the method of choice in reperfusion treatment of patients with signs and symptoms of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) lasting less than 4.5 hours. Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) of acute ischemic stroke is a serious complication of IVT and occurs in 4.5–68.0% of clinical cases. The aim of our study was to determine the infarct core CT perfusion parameter (CTPP) most predictive of HT.
