    Abstract: In patients with large vessel occlusion stroke of the anterior circulation, underlying cause is a determinant of outcome. Whether this is the case for posterior circulation large vessel occlusion stroke has yet to be determined. We aimed to report on cause in patients with posterior circulation stroke treated with endovascular thrombectomy and to analyze the association with functional outcome. Methods: We used data of patients with posterior circulation stroke included in the MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands) registry, a prospective multicenter observational study, between 2014 and 2018. Stroke cause was categorized into large artery atherosclerosis (LAA), cardioembolism, arterial dissection, embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS), other determined cause, or undetermined cause. For primary analysis on the association between cause and outcome, we used multivariable ordinal logistic regression analysis to estimate the adjusted common odds ratio for a shift towards a better functional outcome on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days with LAA as a reference group. Secondary outcomes included favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score 0–3), National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at 24 to 48 hours, reperfusion on digital subtraction angiography, and stroke progression. Results: Of 264 patients with posterior circulation stroke, 84 (32%) had LAA, 48 (18%) cardioembolism, 31 (12%) dissection, and 14 (5%) ESUS. Patients with a dissection were younger (48 [interquartile range, 43–60] years) and had a lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at baseline (12 [interquartile range, 6–31] ) than patients with other cause. Functional outcome was better for patients with cardioembolism and ESUS compared to LAA (modified Rankin Scale adjusted common odds ratio, 2.4 [95% CI, 1.1–5.2], respectively adjusted common odds ratio, 3.1 [95% CI, 1.0–9.3] ). Patients with a dissection had a lower chance of successful reperfusion compared with LAA (adjusted odds ratio, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.06–0.70]). Conclusions: Unlike the anterior circulation, most frequent cause in our posterior large vessel occlusion stroke cohort is LAA followed by cardioembolism, dissection, and ESUS. Patients with cardioembolism and ESUS have a better prognosis for functional outcome after endovascular thrombectomy than patients with LAA.

    Abstract: Thrombectomy with stent retriever and direct aspiration are equally effective in the endovascular treatment of anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke. We report efficacy and safety of initial treatment technique per occlusion segment. Methods: For this study, we analyzed data from the MR CLEAN Registry, a prospective, observational study in all centers that perform endovascular therapy in the Netherlands. We used ordinal logistic regression analysis to compare clinical and technical results of first line direct aspiration treatment with that of stent retriever thrombectomy stratified for occlusion segment. Primary outcome measure was functional outcome at 3 months. Secondary outcome measures included reperfusion grade expressed as the extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, periprocedural complication risk, time to reperfusion, and mortality. Results: Of the 2282 included patients, 1658 (73%) were initially treated with stent retriever and 624 (27%) with aspiration. Four hundred sixty-two patients had an occlusion of the intracranial part of the carotid artery, 1349 of the proximal middle cerebral artery, and 471 of the distal parts of the middle cerebral artery. There was no difference in functional outcome between aspiration and stent retriever thrombectomy (odds ratio, 1.0 [95% CI, 0.9–1.2]) in any of the occlusion segments ( P value for interaction=0.2). Reperfusion rate was higher in the aspiration group (odds ratio, 1.4 [95% CI, 1.1–1.6]) and did not differ between occlusion segments ( P value for interaction=0.6). Procedure times were shorter in the aspiration group (minutes 50 versus 65 minutes; P 〈 0.0001). There was no difference in periprocedural complications or mortality. Conclusions: In unselected patients with anterior circulation infarcts, we observed equal functional outcome of aspiration and stent retriever thrombectomy in all occlusion segments. When aspiration was the first line treatment modality, reperfusion rates were higher and procedure times shorter in all occlusion segments.

    Prognostic Value of Thrombus Volume and Interaction With First-Line Endovascular Treatment Device Choice
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2023
    In:  Stroke Vol. 54, No. 4 ( 2023-04), p. 1056-1065
    Details
    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 54, No. 4 ( 2023-04), p. 1056-1065
    Abstract: A larger thrombus in patients with acute ischemic stroke might result in more complex endovascular treatment procedures, resulting in poorer patient outcomes. Current evidence on thrombus volume and length related to procedural and functional outcomes remains contradicting. This study aimed to assess the prognostic value of thrombus volume and thrombus length and whether this relationship differs between first-line stent retrievers and aspiration devices for endovascular treatment. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective cohort study, 670 of 3279 patients from the MR CLEAN Registry (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands) for endovascularly treated large vessel occlusions were included. Thrombus volume (0.1 mL) and length (0.1 mm) based on manual segmentations and measurements were related to reperfusion grade (expanded Treatment in Cerebral Infarction score) after endovascular treatment, the number of retrieval attempts, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and a shift for functional outcome at 90 days measured with the reverted ordinal modified Rankin Scale (odds ratio 〉 1 implies a favorable outcome). Univariable and multivariable linear and logistic regression were used to report common odds ratios (cORs)/adjusted cOR and regression coefficients (B/aB) with 95% CIs. Furthermore, a multiplicative interaction term was used to analyze the relationship between first-line device choice, stent retrievers versus aspiration device, thrombus volume, and outcomes. Results: Thrombus volume was associated with functional outcome (adjusted cOR, 0.83 [95% CI, 0.71–0.97]) and number of retrieval attempts (aB, 0.16 [95% CI, 0.16–0.28] ) but not with the other outcome measures. Thrombus length was only associated with functional independence (adjusted cOR, 0.45 [95% CI, 0.24–0.85]). Patients with more voluminous thrombi had worse functional outcomes if endovascular treatment was based on first-line stent retrievers (interaction cOR, 0.67 [95% CI, 0.50–0.89] ; P =0.005; adjusted cOR, 0.74 [95% CI, 0.55–1.0]; P =0.04). Conclusions: In this study, patients with a more voluminous thrombus required more endovascular thrombus retrieval attempts and had a worse functional outcome. Patients with a lengthier thrombus were less likely to achieve functional independence at 90 days. For more voluminous thrombi, first-line stent retrieval compared with first-line aspiration might be associated with worse functional outcome.

    National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale : An Alternative Primary Outcome Measure for Trials of Acute Treatment for Ischemic Stroke
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2020
    In:  Stroke Vol. 51, No. 1 ( 2020-01), p. 282-290
    Details
    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 51, No. 1 ( 2020-01), p. 282-290
    Abstract: The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 3 months is the most commonly used primary outcome measure in stroke treatment trials, but it lacks specificity and requires long-term follow-up interviews, which consume time and resources. An alternative may be the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), early after stroke. Our aim was to evaluate whether the NIHSS assessed within 1 week after treatment could serve as a primary outcome measure for trials of acute treatment for ischemic stroke. Methods— We used data from 2 randomized controlled trials of endovascular treatment for ischemic stroke: the positive MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands; N=500) and the neutral IMS (Interventional Management of Stroke) III trial (N=656). We used a causal mediation model, with linear and ordinal logistic regression adjusted for confounders, to evaluate the NIHSS 24 hours and 5 to 7 days after endovascular treatment as primary outcome measures (instead of the mRS at 3 months) in both trials. Patients who had died before the NIHSS was assessed received the maximum score of 42. NIHSS+1 was then log10-transformed. Results— In both trials, there was a significant correlation between the NIHSS at 24 hours and 5 to 7 days and the mRS. In MR CLEAN, we found a significant effect of endovascular treatment on the mRS and on the NIHSS at 24 hours and 5 to 7 days. After adjustment for NIHSS at 24 hours and 5 to 7 days, the effect of endovascular treatment on the mRS decreased from common odds ratio 1.68 (95% CI, 1.22–2.32) to respectively 1.36 (95% CI, 0.97–1.91) and 1.24 (95% CI, 0.87–1.79), indicating that treatment effect on the mRS is in large part mediated by the NIHSS. In the IMS III trial there was no treatment effect on the NIHSS at 24 hours and 5 to 7 days, corresponding with the absence of a treatment effect on the mRS. Conclusions— The NIHSS within 1 week satisfies the requirements for a surrogate end point and may be used as a primary outcome measure in trials of acute treatment for ischemic stroke, particularly in phase II(b) trials. This could reduce stroke-outcome assessment to its essentials (ie, neurological deficit), and reduce trial duration and costs. Whether and under which conditions it could be used in phase III trials requires a debate in the field with all parties. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.isrctn.com .

    Workflow Intervals of Endovascular Acute Stroke Therapy During On- Versus Off-Hours : The MR CLEAN Registry
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2019

    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), Vol. 50, No. 10 ( 2019-10), p. 2842-2850
    Abstract: Endovascular treatment (EVT) of patients with acute ischemic stroke because of large vessel occlusion involves complicated logistics, which may cause a delay in treatment initiation during off-hours. This might lead to a worse functional outcome. We compared workflow intervals between endovascular treatment–treated patients presenting during off- and on-hours. Methods— We retrospectively analyzed data from the MR CLEAN Registry, a prospective, multicenter, observational study in the Netherlands and included patients with an anterior circulation large vessel occlusion who presented between March 2014 and June 2016. Off-hours were defined as presentation on Monday to Friday between 17:00 and 08:00 hours, weekends (Friday 17:00 to Monday 8:00) and national holidays. Primary end point was first door to groin time. Secondary end points were functional outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale) and workflow time intervals. We stratified for transfer status, adjusted for prognostic factors, and used linear and ordinal regression models. Results— We included 1488 patients of which 936 (62.9%) presented during off-hours. Median first door to groin time was 140 minutes (95% CI, 110–182) during off-hours and 121 minutes (95% CI, 85–157) during on-hours. Adjusted first door to groin time was 14.6 minutes (95% CI, 9.3–20.0) longer during off-hours. Door to needle times for intravenous therapy were slightly longer (3.5 minutes, 95% CI, 0.7–6.3) during off-hours. Groin puncture to reperfusion times did not differ between groups. For transferred patients, the delay within the intervention center was 5.0 minutes (95% CI, 0.5–9.6) longer. There was no significant difference in functional outcome between patients presenting during off- and on-hours (adjusted odds ratio, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.74–1.14). Reperfusion rates and complication rates were similar. Conclusions— Presentation during off-hours is associated with a slight delay in start of endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke. This treatment delay did not translate into worse functional outcome or increased complication rates.

    Early Intubation in Endovascular Therapy for Basilar Artery Occlusion: A Post Hoc Analysis of the BASICS Trial
    Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health) ; 2023
    In:  Stroke
    Details
    In: Stroke, Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health)
    Abstract: The optimal anesthetic management for endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with posterior circulation stroke remains unclear. Our objective was to investigate the impact of early intubation in patients enrolled in the BASICS trial (Basilar Artery International Cooperation Study). Methods: BASICS was a multicenter, randomized, controlled trial that compared the efficacy of EVT compared with the best medical care alone in patients with basilar artery occlusion. In this post hoc analysis, early intubation within the first 24 hours of the estimated time of basilar artery occlusion was examined as an additional covariate using regression modeling. We estimated the adjusted relative risks (RRs) for favorable outcomes, defined as modified Rankin Scale scores of 0 to 3 at 90 days. An adjusted common odds ratio was estimated for a shift in the distribution of modified Rankin Scale scores at 90 days. Results: Of 300 patients in BASICS, 289 patients were eligible for analysis (151 in the EVT group and 138 in the best medical care group). compared with medical care alone, EVT was related to a higher risk of early intubation (RR, 1.29 [95% CI, 1.09–1.53]; P 〈 0.01), and early intubation was negatively associated with favorable outcome (RR, 0.61 [95% CI, 0.45–0.84]; P =0.002). Whereas there was no overall treatment effect of EVT on favorable outcome (RR, 1.22 [95% CI, 0.95–1.55]; P =0.121), EVT was associated with favorable outcome (RR, 1.34 [95% CI, 1.05–1.71]; P =0.018) and a shift toward lower modified Rankin Scale scores (adjusted common odds ratio, 1.63 [95% CI, 1.04–2.57]; P =0.033) if adjusted for early intubation. Conclusions: In this post hoc analysis of the neutral BASICS trial, early intubation was linked to unfavorable outcomes, which might mitigate a potential benefit from EVT by indirect effects due to an increased risk of early intubation. This relationship may be considered when assessing the efficacy of EVT in patients with basilar artery occlusion in future trials.

    Abstract: The assessment of collateral status may depend on the timing of image acquisition. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there are optimal time points in CT Perfusion (CTP) for collateral status assessment, and compare collaterals scores at these time points with collateral scores from multiphase CT angiography (mCTA). Methods Patients with an acute intracranial occlusion who underwent baseline non-contrast CT, mCTA and CT perfusion were selected. Collateral status was assessed using an automatically computed Collateral Ratio (CR) score in mCTA, and predefined time points in CTP acquisition. CRs extracted from CTP were correlated with CRs from mCTA. In addition, all CRs were related to baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Alberta Stoke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) with linear regression analysis to find the optimal CR. Results In total 58 subjects (median age 74 years; interquartile range 61–83 years; 33 male) were included. When comparing the CRs from the CTP vs. mCTA acquisition, the strongest correlations were found between CR from baseline mCTA and the CR at the maximal intensity projection of time-resolved CTP ( r = 0.81) and the CR at the peak of arterial enhancement point ( r = 0.78). Baseline mCTA-derived CR had the highest correlation with ASPECTS ( β = 0.36 (95%CI 0.11, 0.61)) and NIHSS ( β = − 0.48 (95%CI − 0.72, − 0.16)). Conclusion Collateral status assessment strongly depends on the timing of acquisition. Collateral scores obtained from mCTA imaging is close to the optimal collateral score obtained from CTP imaging.
