Article Abstract
A 59-year old man was admitted to our stroke care unit 1.8 hours after onset of cardioembolic stroke. Administration of issue-plasminogen activator achieved complete recanalization, and his lesion on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) disappeared and single photon emission computed tomography showed luxury perfusion. DWI reversal and luxury perfusion were sometimes observed in hyperacute stroke patients, especially timely reperfusion was achieved. However, the relationships between DWI reversal and luxury perfusion were not well known. Transient DWI reversal may be associated with luxury perfusion in patients treated with t-PA, via early complete recanalization achieved by thrombolysis.

Ultrafast power Doppler imaging for ischemic encephalopathy: A case report.

Background: Severely elevated intracranial pressure due to various reasons, such as decreased cerebral perfusion, can lead to devastating neurological outcomes, such as brain herniation. Decompression craniectomy is a life-saving procedure that is commonly performed for such a critical situation, but the changes in cerebral microvessels after brain herniation and decompression are unclear. Ultrafast power Doppler imaging (uPDI) is a new microvascular imaging technology that utilizes high frame rate plane/diverging wave transmission and advanced clutter filters.

Wernicke's encephalopathy (WE) is a life-threatening neurologic disorder resulting from thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency that can be secondary to chronic alcohol abuse, gastrointestinal surgery, systemic infectious and non-infectious diseases, and chemotherapy. WE is classically characterized on MRI by reduced diffusion and T2 prolongation along the mammillothalamic tracts, periaqueductal gray and tectal plate. We present two patients with acute WE who had baseline arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion at the time of presentation, demonstrating increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) within the classically involved brain regions and concurrent global cerebral cortical hypoperfusion.

A substantial proportion of acute stroke patients fail to recover following successful endovascular therapy (EVT) and injury to the brain and vasculature secondary to reperfusion may be a contributor. Acute stroke patients were included with: i) large vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation, ii) successful recanalization, and iii) evaluable MRI early after EVT. Presence of hyperemia on MRI perfusion was assessed by consensus using a modified ASPECTS.

Background: Pump-controlled selective antegrade cerebral perfusion (PC-SACP) in total arch replacement (TAR) can regulate cerebral flow accurately, which might be beneficial for cerebral protection. However, the safety of PC-SACP for TAR combined with frozen elephant trunk implantation (FET) in patients with acute Type A dissections (ATAAD) is ambiguous.
Methods: A total of 192 patients with ATAAD underwent TAR at our institution from October 2019 to July 2021.
Arterial spin labeling signal ratio between the lesion and contralateral sides for evaluation of acute middle cerebral artery infarct.

The purpose of our study was to differentiate arterial transit artifact from post-recanalization luxury perfusion on arterial spin labeling (ASL) image, and obtain the relationship between ASL signal intensity and clinical outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Thirty-five subjects with an acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct were enrolled (18 with recanalized and 17 with non-recanalized MCAs). ASL images were obtained using pseudo-continuous ASL technique with 1600 ms (millisecond) of post-label delay within 3 days from symptom onset.
