Abstract
Background: There are limited therapeutic options in cases of failed reperfusion (modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [mTICI] score < 2b) after stent-retriever and/or aspiration based endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. Despite the absence of data supporting its use, rescue therapy (balloon angioplasty and/or stent implantation) is often utilized in such cases. Studies are limited to large vessel occlusions, while the outcomes and complications after rescue therapy in medium/distal vessel occlusions (MDVOs) have not been reported. This study aims to report the outcomes of rescue therapy in MDVO stroke patients.
Methods: We performed an analysis of the "Blood pressure and Antiplatelet medication management after reScue angioplasty after failed Endovascular treatment in Large and distal vessel occlusions with probable IntraCranial Atherosclerotic Disease" (BASEL ICAD) retrospective registry. All MDVO stroke patients were included in the analysis.
Results: Out of the 718 registry patients, 87 (12.1%) presented with an MDVO. Fifty-six patients (64.4%) showed an occlusion of the M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery. Rescue stenting was performed in 78 patients (89.7%) while balloon angioplasty alone was performed in 9 patients (10.3%). Successful reperfusion (mTICI score ⩾ 2b) was achieved in 73 (83.9%) patients after rescue therapy. Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) occurred in 8 patients (9.2%) and post-treatment stent occlusion in 12 patients (13.8%). Ninety days mortality was 20.7%. Twenty-eight patients (32.2%) achieved functional independence at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale 0-2).
Conclusion: Rescue therapy with stenting and/or balloon angioplasty in patients undergoing EVT for isolated MDVO with suspected underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease is an effective reperfusion strategy but is associated with complications and poor functional outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 2016 the European Stroke Journal (ESJ) is the official journal of the European Stroke Organisation (ESO), a professional non-profit organization with over 1,400 individual members, and affiliations to numerous related national and international societies. ESJ covers clinical stroke research from all fields, including clinical trials, epidemiology, primary and secondary prevention, diagnosis, acute and post-acute management, guidelines, translation of experimental findings into clinical practice, rehabilitation, organisation of stroke care, and societal impact. It is open to authors from all relevant medical and health professions. Article types include review articles, original research, protocols, guidelines, editorials and letters to the Editor. Through ESJ, authors and researchers have gained a new platform for the rapid and professional publication of peer reviewed scientific material of the highest standards; publication in ESJ is highly competitive. The journal and its editorial team has developed excellent cooperation with sister organisations such as the World Stroke Organisation and the International Journal of Stroke, and the American Heart Organization/American Stroke Association and the journal Stroke. ESJ is fully peer-reviewed and is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Issues are published 4 times a year (March, June, September and December) and articles are published OnlineFirst prior to issue publication.
