Abstract
Background
Endovascular therapy (EVT) has shown high therapeutic efficacy for acute large vessel occlusion (LVO); however, recanalization is unsuccessful in some cases. This study aimed to examine the characteristics and prognostic impact of unsuccessful recanalization after EVT compared with medical treatment alone.
Methods
We conducted a post hoc analysis of RESCUE-Japan Registry 2, a nationwide registry of 2408 consecutive patients with acute LVO. Patients without successful recanalization after EVT (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade ≤ 2a) were classified into the Unsuccessful EVT group, and compared with the No-EVT group. To account for selection bias, the outcomes were compared in a propensity score-matched cohort. The outcomes included the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 90 days and intracranial hemorrhage within 72 h after the LVO onset.
Results
Among 188 (14.7 %) patients in the Unsuccessful EVT group out of 1281 who underwent EVT, 147 were matched with the No-EVT group, with comparable baseline characteristics. Patients in the Unsuccessful EVT group had a higher distribution of mRS score at 90 days and were less likely to achieve mRS 0–2 compared to those in the No-EVT group (23 % vs. 34 %, OR:0.58, 95 % CI:0.35–0.98). All-cause mortality was higher in the Unsuccessful EVT group (16 % vs. 6.8 %, OR: 2.54, 95 % CIs: 1.16–5.55). Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage was more frequently observed in the Unsuccessful EVT group (5.4 % vs. 0.7 %, OR: 8.40, 95 % CIs: 1.04–68.1).
Conclusions
The clinical outcomes of patients without successful recanalization after EVT were worse than those who did not undergo EVT.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Neurological Sciences provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. JNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials).
JNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism.
