International audience. BACKGROUND: In acute stroke, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) is used to assess the ischemic core. Dynamic-susceptibility contrast perfusion magnetic resonance imaging allows an estimation of the oxygen extraction fraction (OEF), but the outcome of DWI lesions with increased OEF postrecanalization is unclear. This study investigated the impact of OEF on the fate of DWI lesions in patients achieving recanalization after thrombectomy. METHODS: This was a retrospective analysis of the HIBISCUS-STROKE cohort (Cohort of Patients to Identify Biological and Imaging Markers of Cardiovascular Outcomes in Stroke; NCT: 03149705), a single-center observational study that prospectively enrolled patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging triage for thrombectomy and a day-6 T2-fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging. Automated postprocessing of admission dynamic-susceptibility contrast perfusion magnetic resonance imaging generated OEF maps. At visual analysis, the OEF status within DWI lesions was assessed in comparison to the contralateral side and correlated with volume changes (difference of ischemic lesion between admission DWI and registered day-6 T2-FLAIR). At voxel-based analysis, recovered DWI regions (lesions present on the admission DWI but absent on the registered day-6 T2-FLAIR) and nonrecovered regions were segmented to extract semiquantitative OEF values. RESULTS: Of the participants enrolled from 2016 to 2022, 134 of 321 (41.7%) were included (median age, 71.0 years; 58.2% male; median baseline National Institutes of Health Scale score, 15.0). At visual analysis, 46 of 134 (34.3%) patients had increased OEF within DWI lesions. These patients were more likely to show a reduction in ischemic lesion volumes compared with those without increased OEF (median change, -4.0 versus 4.8 mL; P\textless0.0001). Multivariable analysis indicated that increased OEF within DWI lesions was associated with a reduction in ischemic lesion volumes from admission DWI to day-6 T2-FLAIR (odds ratio, 0.68 [95% CI, 0.49-0.87]; P=0.008). At voxel-based analysis, recovered DWI regions had increased OEF, while nonrecovered regions had decreased OEF (median, 126.9% versus -27.0%; P\textless0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Increased OEF within hyperacute DWI lesions was associated with ischemic lesion recovery between admission DWI and day-6 T2-FLAIR in patients achieving recanalization after thrombectomy.
