ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
To assess technical and clinical outcomes of an intermediate bore aspiration catheter (AXS Catalyst 5; Stryker) as front-line therapy for M2-M3 acute occlusions.METHODS:
A multicentric, retrospective data collection of patients with symptomatic M2-M3 ischemic stroke, treated with direct aspiration first-pass technique was obtained. Time to recanalization, first attempt recanalization, and number of attempts were recorded. Successful recanalization was defined as a modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score ≥2b; incidence of procedure-related complications was recorded. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at discharge and modified Rankin Scale score at 90 days were evaluated by a dedicated neurologist.RESULTS:
A total of 44 acute occlusions of distal M2-M3 segment were treated with a direct aspiration first-pass technique using CAT 5 (mean age 68,4 years). Median NIHSS at baseline was 10. Overall modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score ≥2b was obtained in 90,9% of patients with mean time to recanalization of 49,7 minutes and a mean of 1.6 attempts. First-attempt recanalization with CAT 5 was obtained in 52,3% of patients with a mean time to recanalization of 29.2 min. A stent retriever with proximal aspiration was incorporated as a rescue device in 3 cases. No major complications was detected. The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at discharge was 4. At 90 days, a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 was achieved in 70,5% of patients.CONCLUSIONS:
ADAPT technique with the intermediate aspiration catheter CAT 5 system achieves successful revascularization and functional independence for patients with acute ischemic stroke secondary to distal M2 occlusions.Palavras-chave
