RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Endovascular treatment for anterior circulation ischaemic stroke is effective and safe within a 6 h window. MR CLEAN-LATE aimed to assess efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment for patients treated in the late window (6-24 h from symptom onset or last seen well) selected on the basis of the presence of collateral flow on CT angiography (CTA). METHODS: MR CLEAN-LATE was a multicentre, open-label, blinded-endpoint, randomised, controlled, phase 3 trial done in 18 stroke intervention centres in the Netherlands. Patients aged 18 years or older with ischaemic stroke, presenting in the late window with an anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion and collateral flow on CTA, and a neurological deficit score of at least 2 on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale were included. Patients who were eligible for late-window endovascular treatment were treated according to national guidelines (based on clinical and perfusion imaging criteria derived from the DAWN and DEFUSE-3 trials) and excluded from MR CLEAN-LATE enrolment. Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive endovascular treatment or no endovascular treatment (control), in addition to best medical treatment. Randomisation was web based, with block sizes ranging from eight to 20, and stratified by centre. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days after randomisation. Safety outcomes included all-cause mortality at 90 days after randomisation and symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage. All randomly assigned patients who provided deferred consent or died before consent could be obtained comprised the modified intention-to-treat population, in which the primary and safety outcomes were assessed. Analyses were adjusted for predefined confounders. Treatment effect was estimated with ordinal logistic regression and reported as an adjusted common odds ratio (OR) with a 95% CI. This trial was registered with the ISRCTN, ISRCTN19922220. FINDINGS: Between Feb 2, 2018, and Jan 27, 2022, 535 patients were randomly assigned, and 502 (94%) patients provided deferred consent or died before consent was obtained (255 in the endovascular treatment group and 247 in the control group; 261 [52%] females). The median mRS score at 90 days was lower in the endovascular treatment group than in the control group (3 [IQR 2-5] vs 4 [2-6]), and we observed a shift towards better outcomes on the mRS for the endovascular treatment group (adjusted common OR 1·67 [95% CI 1·20-2·32]). All-cause mortality did not differ significantly between groups (62 [24%] of 255 patients vs 74 [30%] of 247 patients; adjusted OR 0·72 [95% CI 0·44-1·18]). Symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage occurred more often in the endovascular treatment group than in the control group (17 [7%] vs four [2%]; adjusted OR 4·59 [95% CI 1·49-14·10]). INTERPRETATION: In this study, endovascular treatment was efficacious and safe for patients with ischaemic stroke caused by an anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion who presented 6-24 h from onset or last seen well, and who were selected on the basis of the presence of collateral flow on CTA. Selection of patients for endovascular treatment in the late window could be primarily based on the presence of collateral flow.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To describe the incidence, risk factors, and prognostic relevance of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) immediately after endovascular treatment (EVT) for ischaemic stroke in the anterior circulation. METHODS: EVT records from 2010 to 2019 were screened. Included patients underwent DECT within 3h post-EVT. Virtual native reconstructions were evaluated for ICH according to the Heidelberg criteria and grouped into Heidelberg classes (HCs): [HC1] haemorrhagic infarction (HI)1, HI2 and parenchymal haematoma (PH)1; [HC2] PH2; [HC3] i.a. intraventricular and subarachnoid haemorrhage. If ICH corresponding to multiple HCs was observed, we assumed that the (largest) parenchymal ICH would have the greatest prognostic impact. Hence, a single HC was attributed by the following order of severity: HC2, HC1, HC3. The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days. The effect of asymptomatic ICH (aICH) and symptomatic ICH (sICH) of (1) HC1 or HC2 and (2) HC3 on patient outcomes was evaluated with multivariable regression after multiple imputation. RESULTS: Out of 651 records, 498 patients were included. Eighty-one (16%) patients showed ICH on post-EVT DECT, of which 19 were classified as HC1 (21% symptomatic), 6 as HC2 (100% symptomatic), and 56 as HC3 (14% symptomatic). ICH development was mainly associated with unfavourable procedural characteristics. Both aICH and sICH of HC1 or HC2 were associated with the mRS (aICH: adjusted [a]cOR 4.92, 95%CI [1.48-16.35]; sICH: acOR 12.97, 95%CI [2.39-70.26]) and mortality (aICH: aOR 10.08, 95%CI [2.48-40.88]; sICH: aOR 9.92, 95%CI [1.48-66.31]). Likewise, sICH of HC3 was associated with the mRS and mortality (acOR 19.91, 95%CI [4.03-98.35], and aOR 13.23, 95%CI [2.27-77.18], respectively). aICH of HC3 was not significantly associated with the mRS or mortality (acOR 0.87, 95%CI [0.48-1.57], and cOR 0.84, 95%CI [0.32-2.20], respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Immediate post-EVT ICH is a frequent finding. Except for aICH of HC3, any ICH is associated with poor long-term clinical outcomes.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The MR CLEAN-LATE trial provided evidence for the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment for acute ischaemic stroke within the late window (after 6-24 h) in patients who were preselected based on the presence of collateral flow on CT angiography. We aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes 2 years after randomisation. METHODS: MR CLEAN-LATE was a phase 3, multicentre, open-label, blinded-endpoint, randomised controlled trial conducted at 18 stroke intervention centres in the Netherlands. If endovascular treatment could be initiated within 6-24 h of symptom onset or last seen well, patients (aged 18 years or older) with an acute ischaemic stroke due to a large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation and at least some collateral flow in the affected middle cerebral artery territory on CT angiography were randomly assigned (1:1) to either endovascular treatment with best medical treatment (endovascular treatment group) or best medical treatment alone (control group). Web-based randomisation, stratified by centre, was performed with the use of permuted blocks (block size eight to 20). The researchers who collected clinical outcomes and analysed the results were masked to treatment allocation; treating physicians, local investigators, and patients were aware of the received treatment. The primary outcome of MR CLEAN-LATE was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days after randomisation. For this 2-year prespecified analysis, the primary outcome was mRS score at 2 years (minus 3 months to plus 6 months). Primary and safety analyses were performed based on the modified intention-to-treat principle, and included patients who provided (deferred) consent or died before consent could be obtained. Missing data were handled with multiple imputation by chained equations. The trial is completed and is registered at ISRCTN, ISRCTN19922220. FINDINGS: Between Feb 2, 2018, and Jan 27, 2022, 535 patients were randomly assigned in the MR CLEAN-LATE trial, of whom 502 (94%) gave deferred consent and comprised the modified intention-to-treat population (255 in the endovascular treatment group and 247 in the control group). 261 (52%) patients were female and 241 (48%) were male. Data for mRS score at 2 years were available for 226 (89%) patients in the endovascular treatment group and for 202 (82%) patients in the control group. The median mRS score at 2 years was 4 (IQR 2-6) in the endovascular treatment group and 6 (2-6) in the control group. The endovascular treatment group demonstrated a shift towards better functional outcomes on the mRS (adjusted common odds ratio 1·41 [95% CI 1·00-1·99]; p=0·049). All-cause mortality at 2 years was 34% (87 of 255) in the endovascular treatment group and 41% (101 of 247) in the control group (adjusted hazard ratio 0·81 [95% CI 0·60-1·08]; p=0·15). Major vascular events (ie, transient ischaemic attack, ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, and cardiac events) were reported between 90 days and 2 years in 23 patients in the endovascular treatment group and 13 patients in the control group. INTERPRETATION: Our results show that the effectiveness of late-window (after 6-24 h) endovascular treatment in improving clinical outcomes is sustained for up to 2 years in a population preselected based on the presence of collateral flow on CT angiography. This finding might be important for prompting further evaluations of cost-effectiveness, health-care policy development, and clinical decision making.

RESUMEN

Background Insight into outcome variation between hospitals could help to improve quality of care. We aimed to assess the validity of early outcomes as quality indicators for acute ischemic stroke care for patients treated with endovascular therapy (EVT). Methods and Results We used data from the MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands) Registry, a large multicenter prospective cohort study including 3279 patients with acute ischemic stroke undergoing EVT. Random effect linear and proportional odds regression were used to analyze the effect of case mix on between-hospital differences in 2 early outcomes: the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at 24 to 48 hours and the expanded thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score. Between-hospital variation in outcomes was assessed using the variance of random hospital effects (tau2). In addition, we estimated the correlation between hospitals' EVT-patient volume and (case-mix-adjusted) outcomes. Both early outcomes and case-mix characteristics varied significantly across hospitals. Between-hospital variation in the expanded thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score was not influenced by case-mix adjustment (tau 2=0.17 in both models). In contrast, for the NIHSS score at 24 to 48 hours, case-mix adjustment led to a decrease in variation between hospitals (tau 2 decreases from 0.19 to 0.17). Hospitals' EVT-patient volume was strongly correlated with higher expanded thrombolysis in cerebral infarction scores (r=0.48) and weakly with lower NIHSS score at 24 to 48 hours (r=0.15). Conclusions Between-hospital variation in NIHSS score at 24 to 48 hours is significantly influenced by case-mix but not by patient volume. In contrast, between-hospital variation in expanded thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score is strongly influenced by EVT-patient volume but not by case-mix. Both outcomes may be suitable for comparing hospitals on quality of care, provided that adequate adjustment for case-mix is applied for NIHSS score.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The relationship between the interventionist's experience and outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke of the anterior circulation, is unclear. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of the interventionist's level of experience on clinical, imaging, and workflow outcomes. Secondly, to determine which of the three experience definitions is most strongly associated with these outcome measures. METHODS: We analysed data from 2700 patients, included in the MR CLEAN Registry. We defined interventionist's experience as the number of procedures performed in the year preceding the intervention (EXPfreq), total number of procedures performed (EXPno), and years of experience (EXPyears). Our outcomes were the baseline-adjusted National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at 24-48 hours post-EVT, recanalization (extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) score ≥2B), and procedural duration. We used multilevel regression models with interventionists as random intercept. For EXPfreq and EXPno results were expressed per 10 procedures. RESULTS: Increased EXPfreq was associated with lower 24-48 hour NIHSS scores (adjusted (a)ß:-0.46, 95% CI -0.70 to -0.21). EXPno and EXPyears were not associated with short-term neurological outcomes. Increased EXPfreq and EXPno were both associated with recanalization (aOR=1.20, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.31 and aOR=1.08, 95% CI 1.04 to 1.12, respectively), and increased EXPfreq, EXPno, and EXPyears were all associated with shorter procedure times (aß:-3.08, 95% CI-4.32 to -1.84; aß:-1.34, 95% CI-1.84 to -0.85; and aß:-0.79, 95% CI-1.45 to -0.13, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Higher levels of interventionist's experience are associated with better outcomes after EVT, in particular when experience is defined as the number of patients treated in the preceding year. Every 20 procedures more per year is associated with approximately one NIHSS score point decrease, an increased probability for recanalization (aOR=1.44), and a 6-minute shorter procedure time.
