Overview

Aim: We evaluated the prognostic value of a radiological Basilar Artery on Computed Tomography Angiography (BATMAN) score in patients with acute arterial basilaris occlusion (BAO).

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed clinical and imag­­ing data of consecutive endovascular ther­apy-treated patients with BAO in our stroke unit between 2006– 2018. The dia­gnosis of BAO was made on CTA. BATMAN score is a 10-point CTA-based grad­­ing system. Good outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0– 3 within 3 months.

Results: We included 67 patients (37 men) with BAO treated with endovascular ther­apy (mechanical thrombectomy): mean age 63 years (range 31– 82 years), median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 16; and interquartile range 2– 36. Succesful recanalization modified as Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2b-3 was achieved in 91% (61/ 67) of patients. Multivariate logistic regres­sion analysis identified BATMAN score ≤ 7 (OR 27.59; 95% CI 5.78– 131.81; P = 0.001) and initial NIHSS ≥ 10 (OR 9.62; 95% CI 1.47– 63.10; P = 0.0183) as independent predictors of poor outcome.

Conclusion: The BATMAN score demonstrated its ability to predict severe disability and death after BAO despite endovascular reperfusion ther­apies.

侧支循环在急性基底动脉阻塞中的重要性

目的:我们评估了放射基底动脉对急性基底动脉阻塞(BAO)患者的ct血管成像(BATMAN)评分的预后价值。

方法:我们回顾性分析了2006 - 2018年期间在我们卒中单元连续进行血管内治疗的BAO患者的临床和影像学资料。BAO的诊断是在CTA上做出的。BATMAN 分数是一个基于cta的10分制评分系统。好结果定义为3个月内修改Rankin评分0 - 3分。

结果:我们纳入67例(37名男性)鲍接受血管内治疗(机械血栓切除术)的患者:平均年龄63岁(范围31 - 82岁),中位国家卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS) 16;四分位数范围为2 - 36。脑梗死(TICI) 2b-3再通改良溶栓成功91%(61/ 67)。多元逻辑回归分析确定BATMAN得分≤7(OR 27.59; 95%CI 5.78– 131.81; P = 0.001)和初始NIHSS≥10(OR 9.62; 95%CI 1.47– 63.10; P = 0.0183)作为不良结果的独立预测因子。

结论:尽管进行了血管内再灌注治疗,BATMAN评分也证明了其能够预测BAO后严重残疾和死亡的能力。
