Abstract
Background: Previous studies have indicated that a subset of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) experience spontaneous recanalization (SR), but the prognosis and factors associated with SR in these individuals are not well characterized.
Methods: We conducted a post hoc secondary analysis of the Study of Endovascular Therapy in Acute Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusive Patients with a Large Infarct Core (ANGEL-ASPECT) trial. SR in the medical management group was defined as a modified arterial occlusive lesion (AOL) grade of 2 or 3 on computed tomography angiography (CTA) or magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) at 36 hours (±12 hours).
Results: SR was detected in 67 out of 184 patients (36.4%) in the medical management (MM) group. The median age of patients was 67 years (interquartile range (IQR) 58-72), and 48 (71.6%) were male. The adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score shift toward better outcomes of the MM with SR group vs the MM without SR group was 1.83, with marginally significant difference (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.992 to 3.36; P=0.053). No significant difference was found between the MM with SR group and EVT recanalization group (aOR 1.45; 95% CI 0.86 to 2.43; P=0.16) with similar findings in the inverse probability treatment weighting analysis (OR 0.85; 95% CI 0.49 to 1.48; P=0.57). Multivariable regression analysis showed that hypertension, atherothrombotic stroke and higher clot burden score were factors associated with SR.
Conclusions: SR in medically managed patients with acute large ischemic stroke caused by LVO was associated with good functional outcome. An improved understanding of SR patients may be helpful to develop therapeutic strategy in patients with large infarct due to LVO in anterior circulation.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery (JNIS) is a leading peer review journal for scientific research and literature pertaining to the field of neurointerventional surgery. The journal launch follows growing professional interest in neurointerventional techniques for the treatment of a range of neurological and vascular problems including stroke, aneurysms, brain tumors, and spinal compression.The journal is owned by SNIS and is also the official journal of the Interventional Chapter of the Australian and New Zealand Society of Neuroradiology (ANZSNR), the Canadian Interventional Neuro Group, the Hong Kong Neurological Society (HKNS) and the Neuroradiological Society of Taiwan.
