Abstract

Even with rapid reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke, there is still a potential risk of clinical deterioration, such as cerebral hemorrhage, infarct growth or brain edema after early recanalization, which is so-called “reperfusion injury”. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) damage, inflammatory responses and leukocyte recruitment are believed as main pathophysiological mechanisms. With the development of neuroimage, several novel neuroimaging markers had been reported. Hyperintense acute reperfusion marker (HARM) and quantitative methods including Patlak algorithm, relative recirculation (rR) on enhanced neuroimage can evaluate the damage of BBB, which may induce cerebral hemorrhage. Postischemic hyperperfusion and “no-reflow phenomenon”, which correlate with infarct growth, are observed on perfusion image. Ischemic conditioning therapy, immunosuppressive agents and hypothermia treatment may have potential therapeutic values in future.
