Filter by:This observational study was designed for observe the cerebral hemodynamics and dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients. And analysis the relationship between the dCA damage degree and hemorrhage transformation (HT) and clinical outcome. Patients: patients with AIS caused by middle cerebral artery or internal carotid artery occlusion who accepted EVT. dCA Examination: dCA examinations were performed at 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 5 days after EVT. The objectives of the study were as follows: The changes of cerebral hemodynamics and parameters of dCA in different time periods after EVT were analyzed. So as to determine the correlation between hemodynamics and dCA change and HT and clinical outcome after EVT and to explore the predictors of HT and adverse clinical outcomes.
To establish a predictive model and scoring system for predicting severe complications after thrombectomy. This scoring system can be used to identify high-risk patients after endovascular thrombectomy, guide the early use of adjunctive interventions, and provide reference for future clinical trials.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the role of MRI evaluation based on FVH-DWI mismatch principle in preoperative evaluation of endovascular thrombolectomy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The consistency between MRI and perfusion examination in determining EVT indications. - The consistency of functional independence rate between patients screening with MRI and perfusion.
The objective of this study is to create a comprehensive, multi-center, TRACK-LVO registry-linked cohort of consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO) and presenting to each participating center beyond 24 hours from last known well, who are treated with either endovascular therapy (EVT) or the best available medical management (BMM).
Rationale: Distal Medium Vessel Occlusion (MeVO) are thought to cause as many as 25% to 40% of all acute ischemic strokes (AIS). Despite their relatively high frequency, there is no consensus regarding the optimal management of these patients. However, the fact that AIS related to MeVO often results in significant disability despite best medical treatment (including intravenous thrombolysis, IVT) calls for novel treatment approaches. Fortunately, a growing number of non-randomized studies have now been published demonstrating the feasibility of endovascular treatment (EVT) for MeVO strokes. These studies have demonstrated that distal EVT leads to high rates of successful reperfusion and may be performed with a comparable safety profile to that of EVT for proximal arterial occlusions. Therefore, a strong rational exists to test the safety and efficacy of EVT for MeVO stokes in a prospective randomized clinical trial. Objectives: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the hypothesis that endovascular thrombectomy is superior to standard medical management in achieving more favorable outcomes according to the modified Rankin Scale scores at 90 days in subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke related to a distal medium vessel occlusion within 12 hours from symptom onset (defined as time last know well, TLKW). Secondary objectives include the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of endovascular thrombectomy in the medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) population as well as its impact on health-related quality of life. Study design: The study is a prospective, multicenter, investigational, randomized, controlled, open-label study with blinded endpoint evaluation (PROBE design) and an adaptive design with population enrichment. Study population: Subjects presenting with acute ischemic stroke within 12 hours from TLKW and whose strokes are attributable to a distal medium vascular occlusion defined as co/non-dominant M2 segment or M3 segment of the MCA, the ACA (A1, A2, or A3 segments), or the PCA (P1, P2 or P3 segments) with evidence of salvageable brain tissue on perfusion imaging, M2 segment vessel diameter should not exceed 2.5 mm. Primary outcome: Shift in distribution of all levels of the 90-day the modified Rankin Scale with levels 5-6 combined (mRS; 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-6) as assessed by structured assessment.
Patients with ischemic stroke in the posterior circulation continue to have high rates of mortality and disability, even with aggressive treatment. We wanted to evaluate preoperative imaging to screen patients with a good prognosis from mechanical embolization. We assess the degree of ischemia by defining the pons-midbrain-medulla index (PMMI) and correlate the preoperative PMMI with the clinical prognosis of postoperative patients to verify the validity of PMMI in predicting the clinical prognosis of patients with embolization.
The acute management of stroke patients requires a fast and efficient screening imaging modality. The primary modalities used to select patients for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) are magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT/MR perfusion. The investigators prospectively assessed MRI and CTP concordance/discordance and correlated the imaging on both with EVT treatment decisions and clinical outcomes to verify the validity of MRI (FVH-DWI mismatch) for the preoperative assessment of EVT in patients with an extended time window (6h to 24h).
In developed countries, stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of permanent disability. Systemic and endovascular thrombolytic treatments in acute cerebral ischemic stroke caused by occlusion of large caliber vessels are currently the standard of care for the acute treatment of stroke. The rationale of this study is to validate the results of this treatment on a large scale, in the context of what can be called "real life". The study will have the characteristics of a descriptive observational study on patients suffering from acute ischemic stroke treated at the Policlinico A. Gemelli-IRCCS from 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2023. These data will be compared with a retrospective control group of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy for cerebral ischemic stroke in our polyclinic. The primary endpoint is the outcome of patients treated with mechanical endovascular thrombectomy evaluated with the modified Ranking Scale at 90 days, while as secondary endpoints some individual characteristics of the patient will be considered (sex, age, clinical history, etc.), characteristics of the thrombus (anatomical-pathological, radiological etc) and related to acute management (therapy, rehabilitation, etc).
Rationale: Recently, one prospective multicenter RCT reported a potential beneficial effect of intra-arterial alteplase following successful endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with an acute intracranial large vessel occlusion. In 2018, another prospective multicenter RCT supported the superiority of tenecteplase over alteplase in ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion. Objective: To assess the effect of EVT in addition to intra-arterial tenecteplase compared to EVT alone, in patients with large vessel occlusion of posterior circulation, on functional and safety outcomes. Study design: This is a parallel group, randomized clinical trial of EVT with IA-TNK versus EVT. The trial has observer blind assessment of the primary outcome and of neuro-imaging at baseline and follow-up. Study population: Patients with acute intracranial large vessel occlusion of posterior circulation and an eTICI 2b-3 after EVT. Main study parameters/outcomes: The primary effect parameter will be excellent functional status at day 90 defined as a modified Rankin Score (mRS) of 0-1. The estimate will be adjusted for the known prognostic variables age, pre-stroke mRS, time from onset to randomization, stroke severity (NIHSS) and collaterals and adjusted and unadjusted estimates with corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be reported.
