CT Perfusion In Acute Ischemic Stroke

[@niceyesplease]

I really have to emphasize that it is ridiculous that we get this kind of content for free on KZbin as it is so good. Thank you again and again.

[@theneurophile]

Thank you! My mission in life is to change neurological education and not to make trainees pay for knowledge.

[@nowtelDarmendra]

Amazing...you're a wonderful person

[@vatoloco2116]

​@@theneurophileThat's a real doctor right there. Thanks a ton.

[@yazinuwa0123]

We need more hero like him who provides us with ultimate knowledge to enlightening us at least to serve people life .... Not like the others who are craving for money !!!!! Thank u doctor for changing my learning journey and also i m so astonished by your educational content specially PowerPoint presentations ; soooooo magnificent ❤

New neurology resident doing my masters degree in strokes here in Greece, i d like to express my gratitude for all that, this kind of work produces a change in our approach, in a way you help people (both doctors and patients) all around the world with your videos. Thank you.

[@theneurophile]

I’m glad that you found this helpful. Thank you good your kind words of support.

[@le_tanmay]

I echo the thoughts of so many in the comments. Almost feels like a crime getting this content and teaching for free on KZbin! Thanks a lot!

[@jorgebravo1919]

Radiology resident here. Congrats! What an amazing presentation. You, sir, are a true scholar.

[@theneurophile]

Wow, thank you!

[@LaitoChen]

After 3 hours we finally found the best Video on the internet for understanding CTP scans. The idea of giving practical cases to practice on and tying them into the trials seems to be lost on other "educators". Well done. I feel dirty for getting this content for free.

[@theneurophile]

Please enjoy. I am happy that you found this helpful.

[@user-sw5wn8go3k]

Finally! I've been waiting for a new neurology lecture for so long! Meanwhile, I watched all your other lectures several times!

Thank you Thank you and a Million Trillion Thank you!!! we are a group of neuorology Residents who are watching your videos to help us have better understanding of brain imaging! Please never Stop make these videos! thank you again and again!

[@theneurophile]

Anytime!

[@pablovargas90]

Thank you very much! As a radiology resident CT perfusion was very challenging in interpreting and correlating with clinical context. Much appreciated to know what really neurologists want us to tell and help them in stroke codes.

[@theneurophile]

My pleasure.

[@nilsoncorrea8474]

Incredible!!!! This take the diagnosis and treatment to another level. But I think I will not be alive to see this in real world practice. Maybe in 15 or 20 years. The EM coleagues will have much work to reach this level.

I wish I could be such a wonderful teacher as you are. This presentation is priceless. Thanks!

[@DanielArmandBernard]

As an EM resident this video is GOLD and definitely something I'm going to share with all my colleagues in my residency because generally anything beyond a non-con head CT terrifies us. Neuro imaging is something that intimidates many of us and this lecture makes CTP so much more approachable and can facilitate a much higher level conversation with many of our stroke consultants. Thank you so much for making this free on youtube.

[@theneurophile]

Thank you! Enjoy.

[@cz2343]

Thank you so much! As a neurology resident, this was very useful! I am looking forward to how ANGEL ASPECTS and SELECT 2 trial that came out of ISC 2023 may/will affect what we do clinically!

[@theneurophile]

Unfortunately nothing is static in medicine, so the indications for thrombecomy have now changed. The mismatch ratios are still the same, but the allowable core has now increased to 150cc.

[@hairballjones8451]

Enjoyed this and learned something today. Shared with my neurosurgeon I dreaded Hemorragic Stroke because it was this my Maternal Grandmother died of. He reassured me this probably wouldn't take Me, that and Clot blockage, doubtful but he would guess ischemic if ever I had one, but my arteries are younger than my calendar years. So maybe my postive interventions are working.

[@Nagaash]

This is amazing! Any thoughts to adding some management caveats now with the various larger core trials coming out? I suppose it's probably hard to edit a video, but maybe overlays can provide context.

[@theneurophile]

Unfortunately, KZbin doesn’t allow editing. Watch the “Mastering Stroke Codes” video for a newer algorithm that accounts for large core.

[@iamedicallectures1597]

[@kartikeyashukla5894]

At around 4 minutes into the video, i suggest to correct the color code name to reverse for ischemic core to penumbra

[@theneurophile]

Yes, that is a typo.

[@biplopbohara8200]

thank you

[@lex7235]

Thank you for the presentation :) Could you share your thoughts about the new CT perfusion criteria for LVO within 24 hours, based on the SELECT2 and ANGELASPECT trials? It seems that with ASPECT >3, the core is no longer a significant concern...thanks!

[@theneurophile]

This is a rapidly evolving area. The core infarction no longer matters, but at least for now I would stick to >1.8x mismatch of DEFUSE 3. Take a look at our “Mastering Stroke Codes” video.

[@lkhanna76]

6 you can, do a presentation on arterial and venous strokes and whatever else is your favorite topic. Thanks

[@user-sw5wn8go3k]

Since we're in the topic of ischemic stroke, what's the topographic diagnosis (i.e. Localization) of acute onset tetraplegia with intitial loss of consciousness and subsequent aphasia (not dysarthria) and monoplegia? I'd love to hear more about anterior circulation strokes in this case!

[@theneurophile]

There are several locations where this may happen, but top-of-the-basilar is my best bet. Aphasia will be caused by thalamic ischemia, while tetraplegia and depressed consciousness is a result of the cerebral peduncle and reticular activating system involvement in the midbrain.

[@user-sw5wn8go3k]

@@theneurophile thank you for your reply! It's a fascinating discussion. The MRA of the patient showed stenosis of the intracranial vessels (bilateral C3, bilateral ACA and bilateral PCA with a complete occlusion of the right MCA), does it change anything to your topographic hypothesis? (I must add that there was facial involvement and a history of amaurosis fugax)

[@theneurophile]

Multifocal intracranial stenosis can certainly cause multifocal lesions (you would have to invoke multiple locations). The only way to prove which of the stenosed vessels is symptomatic is to document ischemic changes on MRI.

[@user-sw5wn8go3k]

@@theneurophile alright! From what I can see, the MRI shows white matter ischemic lesions in the centrum semiovale and subcortical ischemic lesions in the frontal and parietal regions and in the elft occipital region. So I deduce that it's pretty much indicative of a vasculitis. However, I hope to be able to correlate the MRI features to the clinical presentation, in particular, the stroke that manifested as a tetraplegia. Thank you for your help, it's really appreciated, I'm an avid fan of the channel!

[@P8Dealer]

Do you think you could also teach us something about small vessel disease? White matter hypointensities, cerebral microbleeds, ICH... there is a lot to see there.

[@theneurophile]

Yep. I am waiting TIMELESS trial to get published (hopefully shortly) to post a revised stroke code where this will be discussed.

Hey Igor from America, didn't you want to make a short tutorial on how to make awesome slide design ;-). However I am a resident in vascular surgery, with a very high interest in neurovascular stuff. How about a video about Plaque morphology and Stroke Risk. Or one could start with NASCET and hemdynamic evaluation of carotid artery disease or something. Lets say if I would butcher some slides, (hypothetically of course :-D) would you have time to review them and give some tips on Design? Best regards Igor from Germany.

[@jamesdong1058]

At around 3:38 in your video, the description of the ischemic core (infarct area) and penumbra seems to be reversed. The green area should be the penumbra and the pink one ischemic core.

[@theneurophile]

Yes, sorry about that. The colors are correct on the image but not in the legend.

[@damiensegers3555]

Hello, According to my interpretation of the 2021 European Stroke Organization Thrombolysis Guidelines, for wake-up strokes there is no time limit on the use of intravenous thrombolysis as long as there is a DWI-FLAIR mismatch on MRI. Is this true?

[@theneurophile]

Yep, true. We tend to use CTP first because it's faster. However, CTP won't help with lacunar strokes. In those cases, we perform a stat MRI.

[@johnlin7893]

Around 3:20 I’m wondering the whole picture why penumbra is at the middle of the ischemic core. Could anyone answer for me?

[@theneurophile]

Penumbra illustrates the entire territory that is hypoperfused. By definition, ischemic core will be within that territory. With MCA occlusion, basal ganglia structures often become ischemic early because there is limited collateral flow in those areas. So those areas tend to convert to ischemic core. The cortical MCA territory often received ACA and PCA collaterals and may survive for longer.

[@Mr_3raqi]

Penumbra is green 🟢 larger than is ischemic core which is is purple 🟣 I think they mislabelled it by mistake （it is a long video, mistakes happen 😁)
