    Abstract: The results of the DAWN trial support the benefit of thrombectomy in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (LVO) acute stroke presenting within 6–24 hours from time last known well (TLKW). We sought to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients who met DAWN criteria but underwent thrombectomy beyond 24 hours of TLKW. Methods A retrospective review of endovascular thrombectomy databases at three comprehensive stroke centers was performed to identify all patients who received thrombectomy beyond 24 hours of TLKW and otherwise met the DAWN criteria. Baseline characteristics, efficacy, and safety outcomes were compared with patients in the DAWN trial intervention arm. Results Twenty-one patients met the inclusion criteria. Rates of successful reperfusion (mTICI2b–3: 81% vs 84%, P=0.72), 90-day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score 0–2, 43% vs 48%, P=0.68), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (5% vs 6%, P=0.87) were comparable across the two groups. Conclusion Thrombectomy appears to be safe and feasible in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to LVO meeting all DAWN trial criteria but treated beyond 24 hours of TLKW with outcomes comparable to patients in the DAWN trial intervention arm. Further studies are warranted to validate these findings.

    Abstract: Background: Mechanical thrombectomy in late-presenting stroke patients with a limited infarct core on CTP/DWI is highly effective. We aimed to evaluate the degree of disability at discharge as an indicator for functional impairment at one and three months after mechanical thrombectomy compared to medical management in these patients. Methods: This study concerns a post-hoc analysis of the DAWN-trial population. Patients presenting 6-24h after symptom onset of an emergent large vessel occlusion with mismatch between symptom severity and infarct size on CTP/DWI, were randomized for medical management versus mechanical thrombectomy. We assessed the change in modified Rankin score (mRS) from discharge up to three months post-stroke for DAWN-patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy compared to those randomized to medical management. Kendall’s tau test was used to evaluate the correlation between the mRS at discharge, at 30 days, and at 90 days. Mixed models were used to explore the potential difference between treatment arms in the change of utility weighted mRS over time. Results: Ninety-eight of 107 patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy and 89/99 controls survived at discharge and were included in the analysis. We found a strong correlation between the mRS at discharge, at 30 days, and at 90 days for both treatment arms with a tau varying from 0.52 to 0.72 for mechanical thrombectomy and 0.56 to 0.71 for medical management. All correlation coefficients were statistically significant (p 〈 0.0001). The utility weighted mRS after mechanical thrombectomy was consistently superior to medical management (p 〈 0.0001). Although there was a trend towards a stronger dispersion of the utility weighted mRS over time after mechanical thrombectomy, there was no statistically significant interaction effect between time and treatment arm (p 0.44). Conclusion: The treatment effect of mechanical thrombectomy occurs early and further improvement over time is similar to that of medical management. The mRS at discharge is a robust indicator for functional status at one and three months post stroke and may therefore be used as an alternative measure for clinical outcome.

    Abstract: Introduction: Clot burden score (CBS) is developed to evaluate anterior circulation ischemic stroke thrombus extent. Lower CBS is associated with worse functional outcome in an analysis of MR CLEAN trial without modifying the effect of mechanical thrombectomy within 6 hours after symptoms onset. An analysis of SWIFT PRIME trial showed that stent-retriever thrombectomy successfully recanalize regardless of CBS. However, thrombus that remains stagnant for longer period may be further compressed by the water-hammer effect of the systolic blood pressure, resulting in removal difficulty. We aim to explore relation of CBS with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in the extended 6-24 hours of the DAWN trial. Method: A blinded assessor evaluated CBS in all patients receiving CTA brain in the multicenter randomized DAWN trial for MT in acute large vessel occlusion last known well 6-24 hours (DWI or CTP Assessment with Clinical Mismatch in the Triage of Wake up and Late Presenting Strokes Undergoing Neurointervention). The cohort was divided into low CBS (0-4) and high CBS (5-10) groups. We used ordinal logistic regression for analysis of association with good outcome (mRS≤2), adjusted for significant baseline variables. Results: 143 patients were included. Low CBS group consisted of 50 patients (29 received MT and 21 received medical management). High CBS group consisted of 93 patients (44 received MT and 49 received medical management). Baseline demographics were similar between groups. Low CBS group showed no difference in the odd of good outcome, adjusted OR 0.58 (0.3-1.14). Analysis of MT cases, Low CBS group showed a strong trend to higher procedure time (81.5±55.2 versus 56.4±35.3 min, p=0.07). There was no association of Low CBS and odds of good outcome (OR 0.9; 0.27-2.92), successful recanalization (OR 0.58; 0.18-1.89), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (OR 1.67, 0.55-5.09). Conclusion: Despite literature reporting worse outcome of anterior circulation ischemic stroke with low CBS, acute large vessel occlusion stroke with last known well 6-24 hours and low CBS treated with thrombectomy was feasible and not associated with worsen outcome compared to high CBS. However, a strong trend to higher procedure time is observed.

    Abstract: The clinical efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy has been unequivocally demonstrated in multiple randomized clinical trials. However, these studies were performed in carefully selected centers and utilized strict inclusion criteria. Aim We aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy in a prospective registry. Methods A total of 2008 patients from 76 sites across 12 countries were enrolled in a prospective open-label mechanical thrombectomy registry. Patients were categorized into the corresponding cohorts of the SWIFT-Prime, DAWN, and DEFUSE 3 trials according to the basic demographic and clinical criteria without considering specific parenchymal imaging findings. Baseline and outcome variables were compared across the corresponding groups. Results As compared to the treated patients in the actual trials, registry-derived patients tended to be younger and had lower baseline ASPECTS. In addition, time to treatment was earlier and the use of intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) and general anesthesia were higher in DAWN- and DEFUSE-3 registry derived patients versus their corresponding trials. Reperfusion rates were higher in the registry patients. The rates of 90-day good outcome (mRS0-2) in registry-derived patients were comparable to those of the patients treated in the corresponding randomized clinical trials (SWIFT-Prime, 64.5% vs. 60.2%; DAWN, 50.4% vs. 48.6%; Beyond-DAWN: 52.4% vs. 48.6%; DEFUSE 3, 52% vs. 44.6%, respectively; all P  〉  0.05). Registry-derived patients had significant less disability than the corresponding randomized clinical trial controls (ordinal modified Rankin Scale (mRS) shift odds ratio (OR), P  〈  0.05 for all). Conclusion Our study provides favorable generalizability data for the safety and efficacy of thrombectomy in the “real-world” setting and supports that patients may be safely treated outside the constraints of randomized clinical trials.

    Abstract: Unprecedented workflow shifts during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic have contributed to delays in acute care delivery, but whether it adversely affected endovascular thrombectomy metrics in acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) is unknown. Methods We performed a retrospective review of observational data from 14 comprehensive stroke centers in nine US states with acute LVO. EVT metrics were compared between March to July 2019 against March to July 2020 (primary analysis), and between state-specific pre-peak and peak COVID-19 months (secondary analysis), with multivariable adjustment. Results Of the 1364 patients included in the primary analysis (51% female, median NIHSS 14 [IQR 7–21], and 74% of whom underwent EVT), there was no difference in the primary outcome of door-to-puncture (DTP) time between the 2019 control period and the COVID-19 period (median 71 vs 67 min, P=0.10). After adjustment for variables associated with faster DTP, and clustering by site, there remained a trend toward shorter DTP during the pandemic (β adj =-73.2, 95% CI −153.8–7.4, Pp=0.07). There was no difference in DTP times according to local COVID-19 peaks vs pre-peak months in unadjusted or adjusted multivariable regression (β adj =-3.85, 95% CI −36.9–29.2, P=0.80). In this final multivariable model (secondary analysis), faster DTP times were significantly associated with transfer from an outside institution (β adj =-46.44, 95% CI −62.8 to – -30.0, P 〈 0.01) and higher NIHSS (β adj =-2.15, 95% CI −4.2to – -0.1, P=0.05). Conclusions In this multi-center study, there was no delay in EVT among patients treated for intracranial occlusion during the COVID-19 era compared with the pre-COVID era.

    Abstract: Introduction: Recent trials demonstrated that mechanical thrombectomy improve functional outcome in anterior circulation acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to emergent large vessel occlusion (ELVO) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) M1 segment. However, such data regarding AIS due to MCA M2 segment ELVO is limited. Analysis of the STAR, SWIFT, and SWIFT-PRIME trials found thrombectomy in MCA M2 occlusion to be feasible in achieving successful reperfusion. The most optimal technique and/or device used for such reperfusion is not clearly defined. We aim to compare the outcome for the contemporary techniques and devices used for thrombectomy of AIS patients due to MCA M2 ELVO. Methods: A retrospective review of AIS patients with MCA M2 ELVO receiving thrombectomy from three tertiary care academic medical centers was conducted. Thrombectomy technique and thrombectomy device utilized were recorded. Outcomes were successful angiographic reperfusion (TICI ≥2b), favorable modified Rankin Scale (mRS≤2) at discharge and at 90 days, and rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Results: From October 1999 through June 2016, 253 AIS patients underwent thrombectomy for MCA M2 ELVO. Thrombectomy methods utilized were Stent-retriever (n=118), Aspiration only [manual or Penumbra device] (n=83), and MERCI retriever (n=52). Table 1 shows rate of outcomes measured. There was no difference in baseline NIHSS or in stroke onset to groin puncture time. Stent-retriever group showed a significantly higher recanalization rate, lower sICH rate, and favorable 90-day mRS versus Aspiration group or MERCI group, respectively. No significant difference was seen in discharge mRS between the groups. Conclusions: Thrombectomy for AIS patients with MCA M2 ELVO with Stent-retriever appears to be feasible with a significantly higher rate of recanalization, lower sICH rate, and favorable 90-day mRS when compared to Aspiration and MERCI.

    Abstract: Introduction: Large Vessel Occlusion (LVO) prediction scales are used to triage prehospital suspected stroke patients with a high probability of LVO stroke to endovascular therapy centers. The sensitivities of these scales in the 6 to 24 hour window are unknown. Higher scale score thresholds are typically less sensitive and more specific. Knowing the highest scale score thresholds that remain sensitive could inform threshold selection for clinical use. Sensitivities may also vary between left and right sided LVOs. Methods: LVO prediction scale scores were retrospectively calculated using the NIHSS sub-item scores of patients enrolled in the DAWN Trial. All patients had last known well times between 6 to 24 hours, NIHSS scores ≥ 10, intracranial ICA or proximal MCA occlusions, and mismatches between their exam severities and infarct core volumes. Scale thresholds with sensitivities ≥ 85% were identified. Scores ≥ 5% more sensitive for left or right sided LVOs were identified. Specificities could not be calculated because all DAWN Trial patients had LVOs. Results: 201 out of 206 patients had the required NIHSS sub-item scores. The highest score thresholds that maintained sensitivities ≥ 85% are bolded in the table. Conclusions: CPSS = 3, C-STAT ≥ 2, FAST-ED ≥ 4, G-FAST ≥ 3, RACE ≥ 5, and SAVE ≥ 3 are likely the highest thresholds that can be selected for extended window LVO triage without missing more than 15% of DAWN Trial eligible LVO strokes. For CPSS and SAVE, these are higher than the thresholds suggested by prior studies. CPSS = 3 and RACE ≥ 5 were more sensitive for right sided LVOs. These findings represent the maximum anticipated sensitivities of LVO prediction scales since the NIHSS scores were documented in hospitals during a clinical trial rather than in the prehospital setting. Inclusion of lower NIHSS or more distal LVO patients would lower sensitivities further. Selecting even higher scale thresholds for LVO triage would lead to many missed LVO strokes.
