文摘Rationale Unsuccessful thrombectomy of acute large vessel occlusions(LVOs)has been associated with unfavourable outcomes.Multiple randomised controlled trials(RCTs)have reported a failure rate of 12%–41%for thrombectomy procedures.Various factors contribute to failed thrombectomy,including technical difficulties in accessing the occlusion,unsuccessful thrombus retrieval,thrombotic reocclusion and pre-existing intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.Although some studies have explored balloon dilation or permanent stenting as rescue intracranial angioplasty for failed thrombectomy in individual cases,there is currently no evidence from RCTs on this specific topic.Aim To evaluate the potential superiority of bailout angioplasty over standard treatment in cases of unsuccessful recanalisation(eTICI 0 to 2a)or residual severe stenosis(>70%)after thrombectomy in acute LVO patients within 24 hours of stroke onset.Design This study is a multicentre,prospective,randomised,controlled clinical trial designed by investigators.It compares bailout angioplasty with standard therapy and follows an open-label treatment approach while maintaining a blinded outcome assessment(PROBE design).Our objective is to allocate 348 patients in a 1:1 ratio to either receive bailout angioplasty as an intervention or standard therapy as a control,following unsuccessful thrombectomy.Outcome The main measure of interest is the modified Rankin Scale(mRS)Score,which will be assessed in a blinded manner at 90(±14)days following randomisation.The primary effect size will be determined using ordered logistic regression to calculate the common OR,representing the shift on the six-category mRS Scale at the 90-day mark.Additionally,the safety outcomes will be evaluated,including symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage within 18–36hours,severe procedure-related complications and mortality within 90(±14)days,among others.Discussion The ANGEL-REBOOT study aims to generate substantial evidence regarding the efficacy and safety of bailout intracranial angioplasty as a treatment option for patients with LVO who have experienced unsuccessful thrombectomy.Trial registration number NCT05122286.

文摘Background and purpose An analysis of the ASTER 2 trial revealed similar final recanalisation levels and clinical outcomes in acute large vessel occlusion(LVO)stroke between stent retrieval(SR)alone as a first-line mechanical thrombectomy(MT)technique(SR alone first-line)and concomitant use of contact aspiration(CA)plus SR as a first-line MT technique(SR+CA first-line).The purpose of the present study was to compare the safety and efficacy of SR+CA first-line with those of SR alone first-line for patients with LVO in China.Methods We conducted the present study by using the data from the ANGEL-ACT registry.We divided the selected patients into SR+CA first-line and SR alone first-line groups.We performed logistic regression and generalised linear models with adjustments to compare the angiographic and clinical outcomes,including successful/complete recanalisation after the first technique alone and all procedures,first-pass successful/complete recanalisation,number of passes,90-day modified Rankin Scale,procedure duration,rescue treatment and intracranial haemorrhage within 24 hours.Results Of the 1233 enrolled patients,1069(86.7%)received SR alone first-line,and 164(13.3%)received SR+CA first-line.SR+CA first-line was associated with more thrombectomy passes(3(2-4)vs 2(1-2);β=1.77,95%CI=1.55 to 1.99,p<0.001),and longer procedure duration(86(60-129)min vs 80(50-122)min;β=10.76,95%CI=1.08 to 20.43,p=0.029)than SR alone first-line group.Other outcomes were comparable(all p>0.05)between the two groups.Conclusions Patients undergoing SR+CA first-line had more thrombectomy passes and longer procedure duration than patients undergoing SR alone first-line.Additionally,we suggested that SR+CA first-line was not superior to SR alone first-line in final recanalisation level,first-pass recanalisation level and 90-day clinical outcomes in the Chinese population.
文摘Introduction The efficacy and safety of local intra-arterial(IA)thrombolytics during endovascular thrombectomy(EVT)for large-vessel occlusions is uncertain.We analysed how often IA thrombolytics were administered in the Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands(MR CLEAN)Registry,whether it was associated with improved functional outcome and assessed technical and safety outcomes compared with EVT without IA thrombolytics.Methods In this observational study,we included patients undergoing EVT for an acute ischaemic stroke in the anterior circulation from the MR CLEAN Registry(March 2014-November 2017).The primary endpoint was favourable functional outcome,defined as an modified Rankin Scale score≤2 at 90 days.Secondary endpoints were reperfusion status,early neurological recovery and symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage(sICH).Subgroup analyses for IA thrombolytics as primary versus adjuvant revascularisation attempt were performed.Results Of the 2263 included patients,95(4.2%)received IA thrombolytics during EVT.The IA thrombolytics administered were urokinase(median dose,250000 IU(IQR,193750-250000))or alteplase(median dose,20 mg(IQR,12-20)).No association was found between IA thrombolytics and favourable functional outcome(adjusted OR(aOR),1.16;95%CI 0.71 to 1.90).Successful reperfusion was less often observed in those patients treated with IA thrombolytics(aOR,0.57;95%CI 0.36 to 0.90).The odds of sICH(aOR,0.82;95%CI 0.32 to 2.10)and early neurological recovery were comparable between patients treated with and without IA thrombolytics.For primary and adjuvant revascularisation attempts,IA thrombolytics were more often administered for proximal than for distal occlusions.Functional outcomes were comparable for patients receiving IA thrombolytics as a primary versus adjuvant revascularisation attempt.Conclusion Local IA thrombolytics were rarely used in the MR CLEAN Registry.In the relatively small study sample,no statistical difference was observed between groups in the rate of favourable functional outcome or sICH.Patients whom required and underwent IA thrombolytics were patients less likely to achieve successful reperfusion,probably due to selection bias.
文摘To the Editor:Acute large vessel occlusion(LVO)is responsible for most acute ischemic stroke(AIS),a common cause of disability and death worldwide.Randomized controlled clinical trials(RCTs)provided evidence endorsing intravenous thrombolysis(IVT,also termed bridging therapy[IVT])and endovascular thrombectomy over IVT alone as the current standard treatment for people with LVO in the anterior circulation.[1]The current American and European guidelines recommend using IVT for all eligible individuals with LVO before direct mechanical thrombectomy(d-MT)(class of recommendation-I).Recent RCTs suggest that MT was noninferior to BT in terms of efficacy and safety,[2,3]which contradict the results from multiple meta-analyses favoring BT over d-MT.[4]The benefit of routine IVT for eligible individuals before thrombectomy has become controversial.BT is associated with complications,including the risk of vasospasm,distal emboli,or symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.

文摘There is currently a huge worldwide demand for donor kidneys for organ transplantation.Consequently,numerous marginal donor kidneys,such as kidneys with microthrombi,are used to save patients'lives.While some studies have shown an association between the presence of microthrombi in donor kidneys and an increased risk for delayed graft function(DGF)(McCall et al.,2003;Gao et al.,2019),other studies have demonstrated that microthrombi negatively impact the rate of DGF(Batra et al.,2016;Hansen et al.,2018),but not graft survival rate(McCall et al.,2003;Batra et al.,2016;Gao et al.,2019).In contrast,Hansen et al.(2018)concluded that fibrin thrombi were not only associated with reduced graft function six months posttransplantation but also with increased graft loss within the first year of transplantation.On the other hand,Batra et al.(2016)found no significant differences in the DGF rate or one-year graft function between recipients in diffuse and focal microthrombi groups.To date,however,the overall influence of donor kidney microthrombi and the degree of influence on prognosis remain controversial,necessitating further research.
文摘Background The Catfish stent retriever is a newly developed mechanical thrombectomy device for rapid recanalisation in emergent large vessel occlusion(ELVO)stroke.The current trial aimed to assess whether the Catfish stent retriever is non-inferior to the Solitaire stent retriever in terms of outcomes in ELVO stroke.Methods This was a randomised,prospective,parallel-group,multicentre,open-label,non-inferiority study conducted at 18 sites in China.The primary outcome was the proportion of cases with successful recanalisation(modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score of 2b or 3)following the procedure.Secondary efficacy outcomes included the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale scores at 24 hours and 7 days or discharge if earlier,time from artery puncture to successful recanalisation and good clinical outcome(modified Rankin scale score≤2)at 90 days.Safety outcomes included symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage,all cause-death and severe adverse events at 90 days.Results Between 3 March 2019 and 5 June 2021,118 and 120 patients were randomly allocated to the Catfish and Solitaire groups,respectively.The primary endpoint after all endovascular procedures was non-inferior in the Catfish group(88.5%,100/113)than in the Solitaire group(87.7%,100/114),with a rate difference(RD)of 0.78%(95%CI-7.64 to-9.20;p=0.001).Sensitivity analysis only considering the per-protocol set also yielded similar results,with an RD of 0.83%(95%CI-7.03 to-8.70;p<0.001).Additionally,the proportions of cases with good clinical outcomes(47.8%vs 50.0%,p=0.739)and all-cause death rates(17.7%vs 18.8%,p=0.700)were similar in both groups at 90 days.Conclusions The Catfish stent retriever is an effective and safe device for endovascular recanalisation in ELVO stroke..

文摘Treatment of acute ischaemic stroke(AIS)focuses on rapid recanalisation of the occluded artery.In recent years,advent of mechanical thrombectomy devices and new procedures have accelerated the analysis of thrombi retrieved during the endovascular thrombectomy procedure.Despite ongoing developments and progress in AIS imaging techniques,it is not yet possible to conclude definitively regarding thrombus characteristics that could advise on the probable efficacy of thrombolysis or thrombectomy in advance of treatment.Intraprocedural devices with dignostic capabilities or new clinical imaging approaches are needed for better treatment of AIS patients.In this review,what is known about the composition of the thrombi that cause strokes and the evidence that thrombus composition has an impact on success of acute stroke treatment has been examined.This review also discusses the evidence that AIS thrombus composition varies with aetiology,questioning if suspected aetiology could be a useful indicator to stroke physicians to help decide the best acute course of treatment.Furthermore,this review discusses the evidence that current widely used radiological imaging tools can predict thrombus composition.Further use of new emerging technologies based on bioimpedance,as imaging modalities for diagnosing AIS and new medical device tools for detecting thrombus composition in situ has been introduced.Whether bioimpedance would be beneficial for gaining new insights into in situ thrombus composition that could guide choice of optimum treatment approach is also reviewed.
文摘Background:The recent success of several mechanical thrombectomy trials has resulted in a significant change in management for patients presenting with stroke.However,it is still unclear how to manage patients that present with stroke and low National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)≤5.We sought to review our experience of mechanical thrombectomy in patients with low NIHSS and confirmed M1 occlusion.Methods:We retrospectively analysed our prospectively maintained database of all patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy between January 2008 and August 2016.We identified 41 patients with confirmed M1 occlusion and low NIHSS(≤5)on admission to our hospital.We collected demographic,radiological,procedural and outcome data.Results:The mean age of patients was 72±14,with 20 male patients.Associated medical conditions were common with hypertension seen in∼80%.Just over 50%presented with NIHSS 4 or 5.The average ASPECTS score on admission was 8.8(range 6–10),and the average clot length 10 mm.Angiographically Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction(TICI)≥2b was obtained in 87.8%of patients.7 patients had haemorrhage on follow-up,2 of which were symptomatic.Of 40 patients with 90-day follow-up,75%had modified Rankin Scale(mRS)score 0–2.There were 3 deaths at 90 days.Conclusions:Mechanical thrombectomy in patients with low NIHSS and proximal large vessel occlusion is technically possible and carries a high degree of success with good safety profile.Patients with low NIHSS and confirmed occlusion should be considered for mechanical thrombectomy.

文摘Advances in endovascular treatment of acute ischaemic stroke from intracranial large vessel occlusions have continued in the past decade.Here,we performed a detailed review of all the new trials and studies that had the highest evidence,the guidelines for mechanical thrombectomy,the selection of the particular population outside the guidelines and endovascular therapeutic strategies for acute ischemic stroke from occluded intracranial arteries.
文摘Background The number of mobile stroke programmes has increased with evidence,showing they expedite intravenous thrombolysis.Outstanding questions include whether time savings extend to patients eligible for endovascular therapy and impact clinical outcomes.Objective Our mobile stroke unit(MSU),based at an academic medical centre in upstate New York,launched in October 2018.We reviewed prospective observational data sets over 26 months to identify MSU and non-MSU emergency medical service(EMS)patients who underwent intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy for comparison of angiographic and clinical outcomes.Results Over 568 days in service,the MSU was dispatched 1489 times(2.6/day)and transported 300 patients(20%of dispatches).Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator(tPA)was administered to 57 MSU patients and the average time from 911 call-to tPA was 42.5 min(±9.2),while EMS transported 73 patients who received tPA at 99.4 min(±35.7)(p<0.001).Seven MSU patients(12%)received tPA from 3.5 hours to 4.5 hours since last known well and would likely have been outside the window with EMS care.Endovascular thrombectomy was performed on 21 MSU patients with an average 911 call-to groin puncture time of 99.9 min(±18.1),while EMS transported 54 patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy(ET)at 133.0 min(±37.0)(p=0.0002).There was no difference between MSU and traditional EMS in modified Rankin score at 90-day clinic follow-up for patients undergoing intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular thrombectomy,whether assessed as a dichotomous or ordinal variable.Conclusions Mobile stroke care expedited both intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy.There is an ongoing need to show improved functional outcomes with MSU care.
