    Abstract: Introduction: The first-pass effect (FPE), defined as a complete or near-complete recanalization after a single pass of a mechanical thrombectomy (MT) device, has been linked to favorable clinical outcomes. However, its effectiveness in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with low ASPECTS (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score 2-5) has not been validated. Method: We utilized data from STAR, a multicenter database of 84 centers worldwide, to conduct a retrospective, cohort study on patients who underwent MT for internal carotid artery (ICA) or M1 occlusion presenting with ASPECTS 2-5. We compared the outcomes of patients who achieved FPE (successful recanalization with an mTICI score of 2c or higher in one pass) to those who did not. The primary outcome was a 90-day favorable outcome, defined as mRS 0-3. Secondary outcomes included any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), symptomatic ICH (sICH), and 90-day mortality. Results: Out of 10,229 patients in the STAR database, 250 patients met our inclusion criteria. Among those, 60 (24%) achieved FPE. There were no significant differences between the two groups in baseline, imaging, and procedural characteristics. FPE was significantly associated with higher odds of 90-day mRS 0-3 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 2.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.04 - 4.20; P-value: 0.04) and lower rates of ICH (OR: 0.49, 95% CI: 0.25 - 0.93, P-value: 0.03). However, there was no significant difference in sICH rates (OR: 0.84, 95% CI: 0.31 - 2.04, P-value: 0.70). Conclusion: Achieving FPE in AIS stroke patients with low ASPECTS was associated with significantly higher rates of good functional outcomes and lower rates of ICH.

    Abstract: Introduction: Real-world data showed that less than half of the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) presenting with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) (2-5) achieved favorable outcomes at 90 days after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between the number of MT passes at which successful recanalization is obtained and outcomes in LVO-related AIS patients with low ASPECTS. Methods: This retrospective cohort study was performed on the data from 31 thrombectomy-capable centers between 2013 to 2022. Successful recanalization was defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia Score≥ 2b. The primary outcome was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0-3. Secondary outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours and mortality at 90 days. Outcomes were compared among patients with unsuccessful recanalization, and successful recanalization at first, second, third, and more than four passes. Results: A total of 297 patients with a median age of 70 [IQR 59-78] years were included and 140 (47.1%) were female. In 239 (80.4%) patients, successful recanalization was achieved: 88 patients (29.6 %) with 1 pass, 59 patients (19.9 %) with 2 passes, 35 patients(11.8%) with 3 passes, and 57 patients (19.2%) with more than 4 passes. Compared to unsuccessful recanalization, successful recanalization at first pass (adjusted OR 5.25, 95% CI 1.78 - 17.1), second passes (adjusted OR 5.20, 95% CI 1.68 - 17.6), and passes 4 (adjusted OR 4.90, 95% CI 1.68 - 17.6) was related to 90-day mRS 0-3. Recanalization status and MT attempt number were not related to secondary outcomes except for 90-day mortality. Compared to unsuccessful recanalization, successful recanalization at second and third passes were inversely related to 90-day mortality (adjusted OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.14 - 0.93; adjusted OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.11 - 0.95, respectively). Conclusion: The present results indicated that successful recanalization was related to 90-day good outcome regardless of the number of MT passes but the odds of achieving favorable outcome declines with each pass.

    Abstract: The role for the transradial approach for mechanical thrombectomy is controversial. We sought to compare transradial and transfemoral mechanical thrombectomy in a large multicenter database of acute ischemic stroke. Methods The prospectively maintained Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) was reviewed for patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for an internal carotid artery (ICA) or middle cerebral artery M1 occlusion. Multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess outcomes including reperfusion time, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), distal embolization, and functional outcomes. Results A total of 2258 cases, 1976 via the transfemoral approach and 282 via the transradial approach, were included. Radial access was associated with shorter reperfusion time (34.1 min vs 43.6 min, P=0.001) with similar rates of Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2B or greater reperfusion (87.9% vs 88.1%, P=0.246). Patients treated via a transradial approach were more likely to achieve at least TICI 2C (59.6% vs 54.7%, P=0.001) and TICI 3 reperfusion (50.0% vs 46.2%, P=0.001), and had shorter lengths of stay (mean 9.2 days vs 10.2, P 〈 0.001). Patients treated transradially had a lower rate of symptomatic ICH (8.0% vs 9.4%, P=0.047) but a higher rate of distal embolization (23.0% vs 7.1%, P 〈 0.001). There were no significant differences in functional outcome at 90 days between the two groups. Conclusions Radial and femoral thrombectomy resulted in similar clinical outcomes. In multivariate analysis, the radial approach had improved revascularization rates, fewer cases of symptomatic ICH, and faster reperfusion times, but higher rates of distal emboli. Further studies on the optimal approach are necessary based on patient and disease characteristics.

    Abstract: Introduction: The combination of intravenous or intra-arterial thrombolysis with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been thoroughly investigated. However, no study has explored the outcomes of combining both intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis with MT. Methods: Data from Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) from 2013 to 2023 was utilized. We compared AIS patients with LVO who underwent MT with combined intra-venous and intra-arterial thrombolysis (IV+IA) and with intra-venous thrombolysis alone (IV). We performed propensity score (PS) matching between the two groups using age, sex, premorbid mRS, admission NIHSS, occluded vessel, ASPECTS score, time from symptoms onset to arterial puncture, and frontline technique. Primary outcomes were any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and symptomatic ICH (sICH). Secondary outcomes included successful recanalization (mTICI ≥2C), early neurological improvement (defined as 4 or more points improvement in NIHSS score in 24 hours), 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2, mRS 0-1, and mortality. Results: A total of 2495 LVO-related AIS patients were included, consisting of the IA+IV group (n = 266) and the IV group (n = 2228). Propensity matching yielded 192 well-matched patients in each group. No significant differences were observed between the groups in either ICH or sICH (odds ratio [OR]: 0.96, 95% confidence interval [CI] : 0.61-1.52, p = 0.60; OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.42-2.03, p 〉 0.90, respectively). The IA+IV group had a significantly lower proportion of successful recanalization (OR: 0.41, 95% CI: 0.27-0.62, p 〈 0.001), and early neurological improvement (OR: 0.55, 95% CI: 0.30-1.00). However, 90-day mRS 0-2, mRS 0-1, and mortality rates showed no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the combined use of IA and IV thrombolysis in AIS patients undergoing MT is safe. Although the IA+IV group demonstrated lower rates of recanalization and early neurological improvement, long-term functional outcomes and mortality rates were comparable to the IV-thrombolysis group, indicating a potential delayed benefit of additional IA thrombolysis therapy.

    Abstract: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) failure occurs in ≈10% to 20% of MTs. Among the common causes of failed MT is residual underlying intracranial stenosis (ICAS), typically attributable to atherosclerotic disease. ICAS large‐vessel occlusion (ICAS‐LVO) remains poorly understood, and management of ICAS‐LVO is unclear. The RESCUE‐ICAS (Registry of Emergent Large Vessel Occlusion Due to Intracranial Stenosis) aims at providing better understanding of the prevalence of ICAS‐LVO, and the overall safety and efficacy of various rescue therapies. Methods RESCUE‐ICAS is a multicenter, international, prospective registry that is currently enrolling patients with ICAS‐LVO who underwent MT. All sites are required to report monthly MT cases that meet inclusion criteria. The decision of whether to use rescue therapy is up to the interventionist. Results We will collect patients’ demographic, clinical, and radiographic data at baseline. Also, we will capture variables related to the MT procedure and rescue therapy (if performed), and postprocedural clinical and imaging variables. Outcomes include the rate of successful recanalization, defined by modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score of ≥2b, the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, the 90‐day modified Rankin scale score, and mortality. Conclusions No strong evidence is currently available to support an optimal treatment strategy for patients with ICAS‐LVO undergoing MT. RESCUE‐ICAS is a prospective cohort study that will provide important data to help design randomized controlled trials.

    Abstract: Background: Mechanical thrombectomy is standard of care for acute ischemic stroke secondary to LVO however MT failure (MTF) occurs in approximately 15% of cases. Objective: Investigate patient and procedural characteristics that predict MTF. Methods: Retrospective review of prospectively collected, Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry. Patients who underwent MT for LVO were included and categorized by MT Success (MTS) or MTF, defined as mTICI≥2b or 〈 mTICI2b, respectively. Demographics, pretreatment, and treatment information were included in UVA and MVA for prediction of MTF. Results: A total of 8452 patients were analyzed, and 1301(15.4%) experienced MTF.MTF patients were older(73 vs.71, p=0.008)had higher poor premorbid mRS(10.8% vs 8.4%, p=0.17).Onset to puncture was greater in MTF group(442 vs.411 min, p=0.006).There were more ICA occlusions(15.6% vs. 13.5%)and basilar occlusions(7.8% vs.6.2%)in the MTF group and more M1 occlusions(42.2%vs.37.5%)in the MTS group (p 〈 0.001).More patients underwent aspiration as the final technique in the MTS group(35.3% vs 32.9%).Number of passes(3 vs 2)and procedure time (77.3 vs 46.1 min) were higher in the MTF group (p 〈 0.001). More patients in the MTF group required IA thrombolytic(14.7% vs. 8.3%, p 〈 0.001).More patients in the MTS group had rescue stenting(7.9% vs 4.8%).There were more complications (14.7% vs 6.2%) and more symptomatic ICH(9.9% vs 5.7%, p 〈 0.001)in the MTF group. Favorable outcome at 90 days was greater in the MTS group(42.6% vs 18.3%, P 〈 0.001).On UVA, age, poor pretreatment mRS, posterior circulation occlusion, final technique SR, increased number of passes, increased procedure time were associated with increased odds of MTF, while M1-M2 occlusions and rescue intracranial stenting with decreased odds of MTF. These correlations remained significant on MVA for final technique SR, rescue intracranial stenting, number of passes, and procedure time. Conclusion: MTF is associated with more complications and worse outcome. Final use of aspiration and rescue intracranial stenting may increase chances of recanalization.

    Abstract: Although younger adults have been shown to have better functional outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS), the significance of this relationship in the adolescent and young adult (AYA) population is not well defined given its undefined rarity. Correspondingly, the goal of this study was to determine the prognostic significance of age in this specific demographic following MT for large-vessel occlusions. METHODS A prospectively maintained international multi-institutional database, STAR (Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry), was reviewed for all patients aged 12–18 (adolescent) and 19–25 (young adult) years. Parameters were compared using chi-square and t-test analyses, and associations were interrogated using regression analyses. RESULTS Of 7192 patients in the registry, 41 (0.6%) satisfied all criteria, with a mean age of 19.7 ± 3.3 years. The majority were male (59%) and young adults (61%) versus adolescents (39%). The median prestroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score was 0 (range 0–2). Strokes were most common in the anterior circulation (88%), with the middle cerebral artery being the most common vessel (59%). The mean onset-to–groin puncture and groin puncture–to-reperfusion times were 327 ± 229 and 52 ± 42 minutes, respectively. The mean number of passes was 2.2 ± 1.2, with 61% of the cohort achieving successful reperfusion. There were only 3 (7%) cases of reocclusion. The median mRS score at 90 days was 2 (range 0–6). Between the adolescent and young adult subgroups, the median mRS score at last follow-up was statistically lower in the adolescent subgroup (1 vs 2, p = 0.03), and older age was significantly associated with a higher mRS at 90 days (coefficient 0.33, p 〈 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Although rare, MT for AIS in the AYA demographic is both safe and effective. Even within this relatively young demographic, age remains significantly associated with improved functional outcomes. The implication of age-dependent stroke outcomes after MT within the AYA demographic needs greater validation to develop effective age-specific protocols for long-term care across both pediatric and adult centers.

    Abstract: Introduction: The efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for tandem vertebrobasilar occlusion (tVBO) is not well established in patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO). Objective: To investigate the treatment outcomes of MT in tVBO. Method: This international, multicenter, retrospective cohort included patients with MT for tVBO and isolated BAO from 2013 to 2023. The primary outcome was the 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-2. Secondary outcomes included complete recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia [mTICI] ≥ 2C) and 90-day mortality rate. These outcomes were compared between tVBO and isolated BAO groups. Adjustment factors were age, sex, admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), pre-morbid mRS, onset to groin duration, and intravenous tissue plasminogen activator. Results: Among 10,229 patients, 689 had BAO. Of those, 61 (9.7%) had a tVBO. Median age was 61 [IQR 53-74] years and 29 (47.5%) patients were female. Compared to isolated BAO, tVBO group had lower age (61 [53-74] versus 68 [58-79], P 〈 0.001) and lower admission NIHSS (15 [7 - 22] versus 17 [9-26] , P≤0.05). There was no significant difference in the rate of complete recanalization between the two groups (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.39-1.79; P=0.60) However, the tVBO group had significantly lower odds of a favorable outcome compared to the isolated BAO group (aOR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.13-0.83; P=0.023) and higher odds of 90-day mortality (aOR: 3.51; 95% CI: 1.59-7.85; P=0.002). Binary regression analysis revealed that age (OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.96 - 1.00; P=0.019), admission NIHSS (OR 0.90; 95% CI 0.87-0.93; P 〈 0.001), premorbid mRS (OR 0.71; 95% CI 0.53-0.93; P=0.016), successful recanalization (OR 2.94; 95% CI 1.71-5.15; P 〈 0.001), and tVBO (OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.11-0.86; P=0.031) were significant predictors of 90-day favorable outcome. Conclusion: tVBO was associated with poor outcomes. Further efforts should be aimed at improving outcomes for this subpopulation.

    Abstract: Introduction: Patients with poor baseline images were excluded from most clinical trials so the data about whether these patients could benefit from MT remains unknown. In this study, we aim to investigate the safety and efficacy of MT in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) and large core infarct (LCI). Methods: The Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) was interrogated. We included thrombectomy patients presenting with LVO within 24 hours and with a LCI as defined by Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) 〈 6. Patients presenting within 6 hours of last known normal (LKN) were considered in the early window and patients presenting after 6 hours were considered in the late window. 90-day outcomes were assessed. We used a logistic regression model to assess the factors associated with good 90-day outcome in patients in the early and late windows. Results: 144 patients were included in this study (table). Median age was 69 and 92 (64%) patients were treated in the early MT window. ICA was the most common site of occlusion (48.6%) and ADAPT was used in 34.7%. Admission NIHSS was 17.5. Successful recanalization (TICI 〉 2b) was achieved in 84.7% and median procedure time was 54 minutes. sICH hemorrhage was observed in 22 (15.3%). Median mRS was 4 at 90 days. Favorable outcome was observed in 41 patients (28.5%) and mortality occurred in in 59 (41%). There was no difference in 90-day functional outcome between patients in early and late windows. In patients presenting in the early window, age (aOR=0.905, p=0.0002) and baseline NIHSS (aOR=0.909, p=0.0423) were independently associated with 90-day outcome. In patients presenting in the late window, only age (aOR=0.934, p=0.0069) was independently associated with good outcome. Conclusion: More than one in four patients presenting with ASPECTS 〈 6 may achieve functional independence at 90-day following MT. Patient age remains the main predictor of 90-day outcome in patients with low ASPECTS in both late and early windows.
