Understanding physician preferences about combined thrombolysis and thrombectomy in patients with large vessel occlusion: An international cross-sectional survey
Background
A recently published individual participant-level meta-analysis found that EVT alone was not non-inferior to combined intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and EVT. Our aim was to determine factors that influence physicians’ treatment choice of IVT-alone versus EVT-alone versus a combined approach.
Methods
We performed an international, structured, invite-only survey among physicians treating patients presenting with AIS. Respondents were asked 16 multiple choice questions. Fourteen questions involved the respondent being provided with a clinical scenario. In each scenario, a patient was presenting with an AIS with LVO, varying a single clinical or imaging feature.
Results
A total of 282 stroke physicians (mean age 46 years, 75 % males) participated in the survey. In LVO stroke, eligible for both IVT and EVT, without other qualifiers, 220 (85.9 %) respondents chose to pursue a combined approach. For age over 80 years, 191 (74 %) participants opted for combined approach, which decreased to 121 (48.2 %) with dementia and 148 (57.4 %) if the patient was on dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT). Of respondents choosing combination therapy in a patient above the age of 80, only 105 (56.8 %) would pursue the same in a patient with dementia. For imaging factors, 177 (72.8 %) opted for a combined approach for intracranial carotid occlusion, which decreased to 160 (65.3 %) in tandem occlusions. Overall, 88 (38 %) respondents agreed to the statement “I am uncomfortable with uncertainty in patient care”.
Conclusions
In a typical patient with AIS due to LVO, most respondents still choose a combined revascularization approach but discrepancy in decision-making increases in complex scenarios.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Stroke & Cerebrovascular Diseases publishes original papers on basic and clinical science related to the fields of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases. The Journal also features review articles, controversies, methods and technical notes, selected case reports and other original articles of special nature. Its editorial mission is to focus on prevention and repair of cerebrovascular disease. Clinical papers emphasize medical and surgical aspects of stroke, clinical trials and design, epidemiology, stroke care delivery systems and outcomes, imaging sciences and rehabilitation of stroke. The Journal will be of special interest to specialists involved in caring for patients with cerebrovascular disease, including neurologists, neurosurgeons and cardiologists.
