摘要
背景和目的:青年人急性椎基底动脉闭塞(VBAO)的血管内血栓切除术(EVT)的数据有限。我们比较了年轻和老年患者EVT后的临床特征和结果。方法:采用多中心回顾性登记,我们分析了接受EVT治疗急性VBAO的患者。患者按年龄分为两组(18-44岁vs≥45岁)。主要结果为90天和1年的功能独立性(修正Rankin量表评分,mRS 0-2)。次要结局包括再灌注成功、24小时/出院美国国立卫生研究院卒中量表(NIHSS)评分、早期神经功能改变、90天/1年mRS分布、症状性颅内出血(sICH)和死亡率。多变量逻辑回归调整混杂因素评估关联。评估年龄组与高血压/糖尿病/心房颤动的相互作用。结果:518例患者中,年龄18-44岁37例(7.1%);年轻患者的心血管合并症较少。年轻患者的病因差异更大(大动脉粥样硬化:35.1%,其他确定原因:35.1%)。年轻患者更常在90天和1年(未调整)时获得早期神经系统改善和功能独立。校正分析显示,年龄二分类与90天(aOR 1.15, 95% CI 0.50-2.64, p = 0.74)或1年(aOR 1.59, 95% CI 0.68-3.72, p = 0.286)功能独立性无显著相关性。在90天的功能独立性中,高血压与年龄之间存在显著的相互作用(p = 0.014),在其他合并症或1年时,没有发现显著的相互作用。两组之间的死亡率和siich发生率具有可比性。结论:EVT对年轻和老年VBAO患者的疗效相当,尤其对病因异质性更强的年轻患者具有重要价值。
Endovascular thrombectomy in young patients with acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion.
Background and purpose: Data on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBAO) in young adults are limited. We compared clinical characteristics and outcomes after EVT between young and older patients.
Methods: Using a multicenter retrospective registry, we analyzed patients undergoing EVT for acute VBAO. Patients were dichotomized by age (18-44 years vs ≥ 45 years). Primary outcomes were functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score, mRS 0-2) at 90 days and 1 year. Secondary outcomes included successful reperfusion, 24-hour/discharge National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, early neurological function changes, 90-day/1-year mRS distributions, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and mortality. Multivariable logistic regression adjusted for confounders assessed associations. Interaction effects between age group and hypertension/diabetes/atrial fibrillation were evaluated.
Results: Among 518 patients, 37 (7.1%) were aged 18-44 years. Young patients had fewer cardiovascular comorbidities. Etiologies were more heterogeneous in young patients (large-artery atherosclerosis: 35.1%, other determined cause: 35.1%). Young patients more frequently achieved early neurological improvement and functional independence at 90 days and 1 year (unadjusted). Adjusted analyses showed age dichotomization was not significantly associated with 90-day (aOR 1.15, 95% CI 0.50-2.64, p = 0.74) or 1-year (aOR 1.59, 95% CI 0.68-3.72, p = 0.286) functional independence. A significant hypertension-by-age interaction existed for 90-day functional independence (p = 0.014), and no significant interactions were found for other comorbidities or at 1 year. Mortality and sICH rates were comparable between the two groups.
Conclusions: EVT demonstrates comparable efficacy in young and older VBAO patients, underscoring its critical value especially for young patients with more heterogeneous etiologies.
