ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Predictive factors for successful reperfusion in mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke, and especially technical factors, remain controversial. We investigated various techniques for better angiographic outcomes.METHODS:
In this retrospective study, acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion treated with mechanical thrombectomy with combined technique were included. Scoring of the reperfusion grade for each attempt was conducted, and each attempt was divided into two groups based on successful reperfusion, which was defined using the presence or absence of modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction 2b-3. The following characteristics were evaluated the choice of stent-retriever, its length, occlusion site, thrombus position relative to deployed stent-retriever, methods of thrombectomy, and successful advancement of the distal access catheter to the proximal end of the thrombus.RESULTS:
Among 251 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy, 154 patients (255 attempts mTICI 0-2a group, nâ¯=â¯119; mTICI 2b-3 group, nâ¯=â¯136) were included in the analysis. The thrombus position relative to the deployed stent-retriever was likely associated with successful reperfusion, although it was not statistically significant (proximal two-thirds 56.8â¯%; distal one-third 44.3â¯%, pâ¯=â¯0.09). Successful advancement of the distal access catheter was related to successful reperfusion both in univariate analysis (success 57.9â¯%; fail 35.8â¯%, pâ¯<â¯0.01) and in multivariate regression analysis (odds ratio 2.45; 95â¯% confidence interval 1.30-4.61, pâ¯<â¯0.01).CONCLUSIONS:
Successful advancement of the distal access catheter to the proximal end of thrombus might be a key component for successful reperfusion in mechanical thrombectomy.Palavras-chave
