The Thrombolysisthrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction cerebral infarctionor  (TICI) grading system was described in 2003 by Higashida et al. as a tool for determining the response of thrombolytic therapy for ischaemic stroke. In neurointerventional radiology it is usually used for patients post endovascular revascularisation.. Like Like most therapy response grading systems, it predicts prognosis.

Classification

The original description is:

  • Grade 0: no perfusion
  • Grade 1: penetration with minimal perfusion
  • Grade 2: partial perfusion
    • Grade 1B: only partial filling (less than two-thirds) of the entire vascular territory is visualized
    • Grade 2B: complete filling of all of the expected vascular territory is visualized but the filling is slower than normal
  • Grade 3: complete perfusion

In 2013 Fugate et al. reported reported marked variability in its definitions and application.
