Abstract
- IntroductionHemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a serious complication that can occur spontaneously after an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) or after a thrombolytic/mechanical thrombectomy. Our study aims to explore the potential correlations between fibrinogen levels and the occurrence of spontaneous HT (sHT) and HT after mechanical thrombectomy (tHT).MethodsA total of 423 consecutive AIS patients diagnosed HT who did not undergone thrombolysis and 423 age- and sex-matched patients without HT (non-HT) were enrolled. Fibrinogen levels were measured within 24 h of admission after stroke. The cohorts were trisected according to fibrinogen levels. The HT were further categorized into hemorrhagic infarction (HI) or parenchymal hematoma (PH) based on their imaging characteristics.ResultsIn sHT cohort, fibrinogen levels were higher in HT patients than non-HT patients (p
