D-dimer Prognostic Marker of Cerebral Infarction After Revascularization Procedure

D-dimer Prognostic Marker of Cerebral Infarction After Revascularization Procedure

Cerebral infarction is the leading cause of acquired disability in adults. Absence of biological marker used in current practice and identified as a prognostic factor for recovery. D-dimers are degradation products of stabilized fibrin translating an activation of coagulation whatever the cause. Studies have shown that increased D-dimer levels in patients with MI is associated with a higher mortality rate, the link with post-intervention non-revascularization has been demonstrate.

The purpose of this project is to search for a correlation between the level of D-dimer and the degree of recovery evaluated by the NIHSS score

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged 18 to 65
• Cerebral infarctions undergoing a revascularization procedure by thrombolysis and / or thrombectomy, at the Amiens University Hospital between January 2015 and December 2020.
• Patients having benefited from a D-dimer assay (during their stay)

Exclusion Criteria:
