Abstract

Background and Purpose: In the settings of thrombectomy, the first-pass effect (FPE), defined by a complete recanalization after one pass with no rescue therapy, has been shown to be associated with an improved outcome. As this phenomenon has been predominantly described in anterior circulation strokes, we aimed to study the prevalence, outcomes, and predictors of FPE in patients with a basilar artery occlusion. Methods: From a prospective multicentric registry, we collected the data of all consecutive basilar artery occlusion patients who underwent thrombectomy and compared the outcomes of patients who achieved FPE and those who did not. We also compared FPE patients with those who achieved a complete recanalization with >1 pass. Finally, a multivariate analysis was performed to determine the predictors of FPE. Results: Data from 280 patients were analyzed in our study, including 84 of 280 patients (30%) with an atheromatous etiology. An FPE was achieved in 93 patients (33.2%), with a significantly higher proportion of good outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2 at 3 months) and lower mortality than non-FPE patients. An FPE was also associated with improved outcomes compared with patients who went on to have full recanalization with >1 pass. Contact aspiration as first-line strategy was a strong predictor of FPE, whereas baseline antiplatelets and atheromatous etiology were negative predictors. Conclusions: In our study, an FPE was achieved in approximately one-third of patients with a basilar artery occlusion and was associated with improved outcomes. More research is needed to improve devices and techniques to increase the incidence of FPE. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT03776877.

Abstract

To determine whether reversal of DWI lesions (DWIr) on the DWI-ASPECTS (diffusion weighted imaging Alberta Stroke Program CT Score) template should serve as a predictor of 90-day clinical outcome in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with pretreatment diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI)-ASPECTS 0-5 treated with thrombectomy, and to determine its predictors in current practice.We analyzed data of all consecutive patients included in the prospective multicenter national Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Registry between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2020 with a premorbid mRS ≤ 2, who presented with a pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS 0-5 score, underwent thrombectomy and had an available 24 h post-interventional MRI follow-up. Multivariable analyses were performed to evaluate the clinical impact of DWIr on early neurological improvement (ENI), 3‑month modified Rankin scale (mRS) score distribution (shift analysis) and to define independent predictors of DWIr.Early neurological improvement was detected in 82/211 (41.7%) of patients while 3‑month functional independence was achieved by 75 (35.5%) patients. The DWI reversal (39/211, 18.9%) resulted an independent predictor of both ENI (aOR 3.6, 95% CI 1.2-7.7; p 0.018) and 3‑month clinical outcome (aOR for mRS shift: 2.2, 95% CI 1-4.6; p 0.030). Only successful recanalization (mTICI 2c-3) independently predicted DWIr in the studied population (aOR 3.3, 95% CI 1.3-7.9; p 0.009).The DWI reversal occurs in a non-negligible proportion of DWI-ASPECTS 0-5 patients subjected to thrombectomy and significantly influences clinical outcome. The mTICI 2c-3 recanalization emerged as an independent DWIr predictor.

Abstract

To evaluate outcomes of thrombectomy in patients with a basilar artery occlusion (BAO) and mild symptoms, defined by an initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≤6.We performed a retrospective analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort of consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke with BAO who underwent thrombectomy. We compared baseline and procedural characteristics, as well as outcomes between patients with BAO with an NIHSS score ≤6 and6. Multivariate analyses were performed to determine baseline and procedural predictors of good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2) among patients with an NIHSS score ≤6.A total of 269 patients were included: 50 (19%) had an initial NIHSS score ≤6 and 219 (81%) had an NIHSS score6. Patients with mild strokes (NIHSS score ≤6) had better outcomes (68% of modified Rankin Scale score 0-2 vs. 27% for NIHSS score6; P0.0001), lower mortality (14% vs. 48; P0.0001) and fewer parenchymal hematomas at day 1 (0% vs. 10%; P = 0.016). A multivariate analysis identified the following predictors for good outcome among patients with BAO with an NIHSS score ≤6: younger age, fewer passes, a cardioembolic cause, and the absence of need for angioplasty/stenting.Thrombectomy seems to be safer and more effective for mild BAO strokes with NIHSS score ≤6 than for more severe patients. Even although thrombectomy showed high rates of recanalization, a substantial proportion (32%) nevertheless had a poor long-term clinical outcome. The number of passes, patient's age, and stroke cause seem to be predictors of clinical outcome.

Abstract

BackgroundThe predictors of successful reperfusion and the effect of reperfusion after endovascular treatment (EVT) for M2 occlusions have not been well studied. We aimed to identify predictors of successful reperfusion and the effect of reperfusion on outcomes of EVT for M2 occlusions in current practice.MethodsPatients with acute ischemic stroke due to isolated M2 occlusions who were enrolled in the prospective multicenter Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke (ETIS) Registry in France between January 2015 and March 2020 were included. The primary outcome was a favorable outcome, defined as modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0–2 at 90 days. Successful reperfusion was defined as an improvement of ≥1 points in the modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction score between the first and the last intracranial angiogram.ResultsA total of 458 patients were included (median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score 14; 61.4% received prior intravenous thrombolysis). Compared with the non-reperfused patients, reperfused patients had an increased rate of excellent outcome (OR 2.3, 95% CI 0.98 to 5.36; p=0.053), favorable outcome (OR 2.79, 95% CI 1.31 to 5.93; p=0.007), and reduced 90-day mortality (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.79; pConclusionsSuccessful reperfusion of M2 occlusions reduced disability and mortality. However, safety is a concern, especially if the procedure failed.

Abstract

BackgroundIn acute ischemic stroke due to anterior large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO), accessing the target occluded vessel for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is sometimes impossible through the femoral approach. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of direct carotid artery puncture (DCP) for MT in patients with failed alternative vascular access.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed data from 45 stroke centers in France, Switzerland and Germany through two research networks from January 2015 to July 2019. We collected physician-centered data on DCP practices and baseline characteristics, procedural variables and clinical outcome after DCP. Uni- and multivariable models were conducted to assess risk factors for complications.ResultsFrom January 2015 to July 2019, 28 149 MT were performed, of which 108 (0.39%) resulted in DCP due to unsuccessful vascular access. After DCP, 77 patients (71.3%) had successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis In Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score ≥2b) and 28 (25.9%) were independent (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0–2) at 3 months. 20 complications (18.5%) attributed to DCP occurred, all of them during or within 1 hour of the procedure. Complications led to extension of the intubation time in the intensive care unit in 7 patients (6.4%) and resulted in death in 3 (2.8%). The absence of use of a hemostatic closure device was associated with a higher complication risk (OR 3.04, 95% CI 1.03 to 8.97; p=0043).ConclusionIn this large multicentric study, DCP was scantly performed for vascular access to perform MT (0.39%) in patients with AIS-LVO and had a high rate of complications (18.5%). Our results provide arguments for not closing the cervical access by manual compression after MT.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: Although the efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke (AIS) is well documented, early neurological deterioration after EVT remains a serious issue associated with poor outcome. Besides obvious causes, such as lack of reperfusion, procedural complications, or parenchymal hemorrhage, early neurological deterioration may remain unexplained (UnEND). Our aim was to investigate predictors of UnEND after EVT in patients with AIS. Methods: Patients who underwent EVT for AIS, with an initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score >5, Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score ≥6, and included in a multicenter prospective observational registry were analyzed. Predictors of UnEND, defined as ≥4-point increase in the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score between baseline and day 1 after EVT, were determined via center-adjusted analyses. Results: Among the 1925 included in the analysis, 128 UnEND (6.6%) were recorded. In multivariate analysis, predictors of UnEND were diabetes mellitus (odds ratio [OR], 2.17 [95% CI, 1.32–3.56]), prestroke modified Rankin Scale score ≥2 (OR, 2.22 [95% CI, 1.09–4.55]), general anesthesia (OR, 2.55 [95% CI, 1.51–4.30]), admission systolic blood pressure (OR, 1.10 [95% CI, 1.01–1.20]), age (OR, 1.38 [95% CI, 1.14–1.67]), number of passes (OR, 1.16 [95% CI, 1.04–1.28]), direct admission or not to a comprehensive stroke center (OR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.30–0.81]), and initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (OR, 0.65 [95% CI, 0.52–0.81]). Conclusions: Severely impaired AIS patients with nonmodifiable factors are more likely to develop UnEND. Some modifiable predictors of UnEND such as the number of EVT passes could be the object of improvement in AIS management.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The efficiency of prehospital care chain response and the adequacy of hospital resources are challenged amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, with suspected consequences for patients with ischemic stroke eligible for mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Methods: We conducted a prospective national-level data collection of patients treated with MT, ranging 45 days across epidemic containment measures instatement, and of patients treated during the same calendar period in 2019. The primary end point was the variation of patients receiving MT during the epidemic period. Secondary end points included care delays between onset, imaging, and groin puncture. To analyze the primary end point, we used a Poisson regression model. We then analyzed the correlation between the number of MTs and the number of COVID-19 cases hospitalizations, using the Pearson correlation coefficient (compared with the null value). Results: A total of 1513 patients were included at 32 centers, in all French administrative regions. There was a 21% significant decrease (0.79; [95%CI, 0.76–0.82]; P P P R 2 −0.51; P =0.04). Patients treated during the COVID outbreak were less likely to receive intravenous thrombolysis and to have unwitnessed strokes (both P Conclusions: Our study showed a significant decrease in patients treated with MTs during the first stages of the COVID epidemic in France and alarming indicators of lengthened care delays. These findings prompt immediate consideration of local and regional stroke networks preparedness in the varying contexts of COVID-19 pandemic evolution.

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The best anesthetic management for mechanical thrombectomy of large vessel occlusion strokes is still uncertain and could impact the quality of reperfusion and clinical outcome. We aimed to compare the efficacy and safety outcomes between local anesthesia (LA) and conscious sedation in a large cohort of acute ischemic stroke patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion strokes treated with mechanical thrombectomy in current, everyday clinical practice. Methods: Patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for anterior large vessel occlusion strokes at 4 comprehensive stroke centers in France between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, were pooled from the ongoing prospective multicenter observational Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke Registry in France. Intention-to-treat and per-protocol analyses were used. Results: Among the included 1034 patients, 762 were included in the conscious sedation group and 272 were included in the LA group. In the propensity score matched cohort, the rate of favorable outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale score 0–2) was significantly lower in the LA group than in the conscious sedation group (40.0% versus 52.0%, matched relative risk=0.76 [95% CI, 0.60–0.97]), as well as the rate of successful reperfusion (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction grade 2b–3; 76.6% versus 87.1%; matched relative risk=0.88 [95% CI, 0.79–0.98]). There was no difference in procedure time between the 2 groups. In the inverse probability of treatment weighting-propensity score-adjusted cohort, similar significant differences were found for favorable outcomes and successful reperfusion. In inverse probability of treatment weighting-propensity score-adjusted cohort, a higher rate of 90-day mortality and a lower parenchymal hematoma were observed after LA. The sensitivity analysis restricted to our per-protocol sample provided similar results in the matched- and inverse probability of treatment weighting-propensity cohorts. Conclusions: In the Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke registry mainly included patients in early time window (

Abstract

BackgroundStudies have suggested that collateral status modifies the effect of successful reperfusion on functional outcome after endovascular therapy (EVT). We aimed to assess the association between collateral status and EVT outcomes and to investigate whether collateral status modified the effect of successful reperfusion on EVT outcomes.MethodsWe used data from the ongoing, prospective, multicenter Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke (ETIS) Registry. Collaterals were graded according to the American Society of Interventional and Therapeutic Neuroradiology/Society of Interventional Radiology (ASITN/SIR) guidelines. Patients were divided into two groups based on angiographic collateral status: poor (grade 0–2) versus good (grade 3–4) collaterals.ResultsAmong 2020 patients included in the study, 959 (47%) had good collaterals. Good collaterals were associated with favorable outcome (90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0–2) (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.19 to 1.88). Probability of good outcome decreased with increased time from onset to reperfusion in both good and poor collateral groups. Successful reperfusion was associated with higher odds of favorable outcome in good collaterals (OR 6.01, 95% CI 3.27 to 11.04) and poor collaterals (OR 5.65, 95% CI 3.32 to 9.63) with no significant interaction. Similarly, successful reperfusion was associated with higher odds of excellent outcome (90-day mRS 0–1) and lower odds of mortality in both groups with no significant interaction. The benefit of successful reperfusion decreased with time from onset in both groups, but the curve was steeper in the poor collateral group.ConclusionsCollateral status predicted functional outcome after EVT. However, collateral status on the pretreatment angiogram did not decrease the clinical benefit of successful reperfusion.

Abstract

IntroductionA new generation of carotid artery stents that use a dual micromesh layer to reduce embolic events during carotid artery stenting has recently been introduced. We aimed to analyze the effectiveness and safety of the new Casper-RX stent in patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke with large vessel intracranial occlusion associated with a tandem lesion (another carotid occlusion or severe stenosis).MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients treated with carotid Casper-RX stents from our stroke registry. We analyzed clinical, angiographic, and neuroimaging data. Endpoints included acute intra-stent thrombus formation, stent occlusion prior to hospital discharge, 3 month modified Rankin Scale score (mRS), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.Results21 patients were included: 10 patients had tandem carotid occlusions and 11 patients had severe carotid stenosis, 8 of whom had a hemodynamically significant stenosis. We observed acute in-stent thrombus formation in 11 patients. No stent occlusion occurred prior to hospital discharge. We report no stroke recurrence at 3 months but symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage in two patients. mRS score at 3 months was 0–2 (favorable) for 15 patients (71%), 3–5 for 3 patients, and 6 for 3 patients.ConclusionsIn the present series, we frequently observed clot formation during the procedure with Casper-RX stents, which required periprocedural intravenous infusion of anticoagulant and antiplatelet treatment. This motivated us, in the absence of a prospective randomized controlled study demonstrating the non-inferiority of micromesh dual layer stents compared with the single layer design, to discontinue using this stent type in acute stroke requiring carotid angioplasty.
