The role of non-invasive methods in the evaluation of collateral circulation has yet to be defined. We hypothesized that a favorable pattern of leptomeningeal collaterals, as identified by computed tomography angiography (CTA), correlates with improved outcomes. Data from a prospective cohort study at two university based hospitals where CTA was systematically performed in the acute phase of ischemic stroke were analyzed. Patients with complete occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) and/or the middle cerebral artery (MCA-M1 or M2 segments) were selected. Leptomeningeal collateral pattern was graded as a three category ordinal variable (less, equal, or greater than the unaffected contralateral hemisphere). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to define the independent predictors of good outcome at 6 months (mRS≤2). 196 patients were selected. The mean age was 69 ±17 years and the median NIHSS score was 13 (IQR 6-17). In the univariate analysis, age, baseline NIHSS, pre-stroke mRS, ASPECT score, admission blood glucose, history of hypertension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, site of occlusion, and collateral pattern were predictors of outcome. In the multivariate analysis, age (OR 0.95; 95%CI [0.93-0.98], p=0.001), baseline NIHSS (OR 0.75; [0.69-0.83], p<0.001), pre-stroke mRS (OR 0.41; [0.22-0.76], p=0.01), intravenous r-tPA (OR 4.92; [1.83-13.25], p=0.01), diabetes( OR 0.31; [0.01-0.98], p=0.046) and leptomeningeal collaterals (OR 1.93; [1.06-3.34], p=0.03) were identified as independent predictors of good outcome. Consistent with angiographic studies, leptomeningeal collaterals on CTA are also a reliable marker of good outcome in ischemic stroke.
