Role of mechanical thrombectomy among large vessel stroke patients during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic
The aim of our study is to provide insights derived from experience at multiple centers regarding the outcomes of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in COVID-19 patients and compare them with those in non-COVID-19 patients during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID‐19 positive patients were younger than COVID‐19 negative patients (62.1 ± 2.69 versus 69.5 ± 2.2, P < 0.001). There was a significant difference between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 groups in the median D-dimer levels (6 vs. 4.5; P < 0.001), median ESR levels (63 vs. 38; P < 0.001) and median CRP levels (110 vs. 48.5; P < 0.001), respectively. Median time from stroke symptoms onset to hospital admission was significantly higher among COVID-19 positive patients (366 vs. 155 min; P < 0.001). COVID‐19 positive patients with LVO presented with a higher median NIH Stroke Scale score at presentation (16 versus 8, P < 0.001) and lower median Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) on admission (6 versus 8, P < 0.001). Patients with COVID-19 had significantly higher percentages of poor functional outcomes as scored using the mRS grades 3–5 in comparison to non-COVID-19 patients (69.2% vs. 13.6%; P = 0.002), but there was no significant difference between both groups in complications such as early cerebral re-occlusion, intracerebral hemorrhage, or in-hospital mortality (P > 0.05). Mechanical thrombectomy has effectively managed patients with LVO stroke. LVO stroke in COVID-19 patients occur at a young age, and have multi-territory vascular involvement. Poor functional outcomes post thrombectomy in COVID-19 patients, irrespective of timely, successful angiographic recanalization.
