This study evaluated the impact of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) parameters on functional status and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) during the period between presentation and reperfusion in patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The results showed that higher pre-reperfusion SBP and greater variability in SBP during the thrombectomy procedure were associated with unfavorable functional status and ICH.
Background: We evaluated how systolic blood pressure (SBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) parameters between presentation and reperfusion influence functional status and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Methods: All patients who underwent MT for LVO at a single institution were reviewed. Independent variables included SBP and MAP measurements obtained on presentation, between presentation and reperfusion (prereperfusion), and between groin puncture and reperfusion (thrombectomy). Mean, minimum, maximum, and standard deviations (SD) for SBP and MAP were calculated. Outcomes included 90-day favorable functional status, radiographic ICH (rICH), and symptomatic ICH (sICH). Results: 305 patients were included. Higher pre-reperfusion SBPmax was associated with rICH (OR 1.41, 95% CI 1.08-1.85) and sICH (OR 1.84, 95% CI 1.26-2.72). Higher SBPSD was also associated with rICH (OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.06-1.81) and sICH (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.12-2.26). Greater SBPmax (OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.47-0.86), MAPmax (OR 0.72, 95% CI 0.52-0.97), SBPSD (OR 0.63, 95% CI 0.46-0.86), and MAPSD (0.63, 95% CI 0.45-0.84) during thrombectomy were associated with lower odds of 90-day favorable functional status. In a subgroup analysis, these associations were primarily limited to patients with intact collateral circulation. Optimal SBPmax cutoffs for predicting rICH were 171 (pre-reperfusion) and 179 mmHg (thrombectomy). Cutoffs for predicting sICH were 178 (pre-reperfusion) and 174 mmHg (thrombectomy). Conclusion: Greater maximum BP and variability in BP during the pre-reperfusion period are associated with unfavorable functional status and ICH after MT for anterior circulation LVO.
