Cone Beam Computed Tomography Following Thrombectomy

Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens

Summary

Cerebral haemorrhages following reperfusion treatments involve not only rupture of the blood-brain barrier, but also direct damage to vessels related to the equipment used and secondary toxicity to thrombolytics. The rupture of the blood-brain barrier which results from ischemia / reperfusion is responsible for stagnation of the contrast product on the exams performed after thrombectomy. It is difficult to distinguish hyperdensities related to the stagnation of contrast product and Hemorrhage on a conventional scanner. The reference imaging is the double energy scanner performed at the thrombectomy outlet. But no study directly compared the results of the flat panel with the cone beam CT performed in immediate post-thrombectomy. The investigators propose a direct comparison of the cone beam CT with the dual energy CT performed at the exit of thrombectomy.
