Abstract Introduction The optimal timing for decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) after intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) remains unclear. This study in patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with IVT aimed to assess the safety of DHC and patient outcome. Methods Data was extracted from the Tabriz stroke registry from June 2011 up to September 2020. In all, 881 patients were treated with IVT. Among these, 23 patients underwent DH. Six patients were excluded due to symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (parenchymal hematoma type 2 based on SITS-MOST definition) after IVT, but other types of bleeding after venous thrombolysis, including HI1, HI2, and PH1 were not excluded; so the remaining 17 patients were enrolled in the study. Functional Outcome was defined as the proportion of patients who achieved mRS score of 2–3 (moderate disability), 4–5 (severe disability), or 6 (mortality) at 90 days after stroke. mRSwas assess by trained neurologist at the hospital clinic with direct interview Safety outcome was assessed by comparison of two scans just prior to and after craniectomy. Any new hemorrhage or worsening of previous hemorrhage was reported. Parenchymal hematoma type 2, based on ECASS II definition, was considered as major surgical complication. This study was approved by the local ethics committee of the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (Ethics Code: IR.TBZMED.REC.1398.420). Results At the three-month mRS follow up, six patients (35%) had moderate and five (29%) had severe disability. The outcome of death was observed in six patients (35%).Nine of 15 patients (60%) underwent surgery in the first 48 hours after onset of symptoms. No patient over 60 years of age survived to the three-month follow up; 67% of those who were under60 years and underwent DH in the first 48 hours had favorable outcome. Hemorrhagic complication was seen in 64% of patients but none was major. Conclusion Results of this study showed that the rate of major bleeding and outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent DHC after IVT is comparable with the reported data in the literature and intentionally waiting for the fibrinolytic effects of IVT to disappear may not outweigh the benefits of DHC. Although the findings of the study should be interpreted with caution and larger studies are needed to confirm the results. |
