Abstract
Background: We assessed the influence of prior non-vitamin K antagonist (NOAC) use on stroke outcomes after endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients at a high risk of stroke based on their pre-stroke CHA2DS2-VASc score, and compared them with those who did not use any antithrombotic (NAU) or antiplatelet (APT) agents.
Methods: Data were collected from a multicenter database comprising consecutive acute ischemic stroke patients who underwent EVT during a span of 103 months. We evaluated pre-stroke CHA2DS2-VASc scores in enrolled patients and measured instances of successful reperfusion and symptomatic hemorrhagic transformation (SHT) following EVT as the main outcome measures.
Results: Among 12 807 patients with acute ischemic stroke, 3765 (29.4%) had a history of atrial fibrillation. Of these, 418 patients with CHA2DS2-VASc scores ≥2 received EVT alone. The prior NOAC group showed higher successful reperfusion rates compared with the prior NAU and APT groups (p=0.04). Multivariate analysis revealed that prior NOAC use increased the likelihood of successful reperfusion after EVT (OR [95% CI] 2.54 [1.34 to 4.83], p=0.004) and improved stroke outcomes, while the prior APT group did not. Furthermore, the prior NOAC use group was not associated with SHT after EVT. Propensity score matching confirmed these findings.
Conclusion: Prior use of NOAC is associated with improved outcomes in high-risk stroke patients (pre-stroke CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥2) undergoing EVT.
