    Abstract: Introduction: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) reduces disability in patients with large ischemic core stroke. Increasing core volume is prognostic but does not modify treatment effect. CT hypodensity can vary within an area of core. We assessed the relationship between the severity of CT core hypodensity and clinical outcome in the SELECT2 trial. Methods: Non-contrast CT ischemic core was drawn manually by two blinded investigators with consensus review by a third investigator. An absolute Hounsfield unit (HU) threshold for severe hypodensity was set at the lower 99% confidence interval [CI] for normal contralateral thalamic grey matter. Outcomes assessed included ordinal mRS, functional independence (mRS 0-2), independent ambulation (mRS 0-3), and mortality at 90 days. The association between the volume of severe hypodensity and outcome was adjusted for age, baseline NIHSS, and total baseline core volume, via logistic and proportional odds models with treatment*hypodensity interaction. Results: Of 317 assessable patients, the median hypodensity of ischemic core was 31HU (IQR 28-33). Median density of normal thalamus was 38HU. The severe hypodensity threshold (lower 99% CI) was 26HU with median volume affected 14mL (IQR 5.6-29.2) or median 19% (IQR 9-35%) of the total hypodensity volume. The volume of core ≤26HU (per 1 mL increase) was associated with a 90-day mRS shift towards worse outcomes in EVT patients (n=161, adjusted common odds ratio, acOR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01-1.05) but not medical management ([MM], n=156, acOR 1.00, 95%CI 0.98-1.02, p-interaction 0.005); lower functional independence in EVT (aOR 0.96 95%CI 0.93-0.99) but not MM (aOR 1.02, 95%CI 0.99-1.06, p-interaction 0.004); lower independent ambulation in EVT (aOR 0.97, 95%CI 0.94-0.99) but not MM (aOR 1.01, 95%CI 0.98-1.04, p-interaction 0.002) and higher mortality in EVT (aOR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01-1.05) but not MM (aOR 1.00, 95%CI 0.98-1.02, p-interaction 0.02). Conclusion: In patients with large ischemic core, areas of significant CT hypodensity are associated with worse clinical outcomes after EVT but not MM. This is independent of total core volume and modifies the treatment effect of EVT. This may improve prognostic decision-making and drive developments in automated image processing.

    Abstract: The effect of anesthesia choice on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) outcomes is unclear. Collateral status on perfusion imaging may help identify the optimal anesthesia choice. Methods In a pooled patient-level analysis of EXTEND-IA, EXTEND-IA TNK, EXTEND-IA TNK part II, and SELECT, EVT functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score distribution) were compared between general anesthesia (GA) vs non-GA in a propensity-matched sample. Furthermore, we evaluated the association of collateral flow on perfusion imaging, assessed by hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) – Tmax 〉 10 seconds/Tmax 〉 6 seconds (good collaterals – HIR 〈 0.4, poor collaterals – HIR ≥ 0.4) on the association between anesthesia type and EVT outcomes. Results Of 725 treated with EVT, 299 (41%) received GA and 426 (59%) non-GA. The baseline characteristics differed in presentation National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score (median [interquartile range] GA: 18 [13–22] , non-GA: 16 [11–20], p 〈 0.001) and ischemic core volume (GA: 15.0 mL [3.2–38.0] vs non-GA: 9.0 mL [0.0–31.0] , p 〈 0.001). In addition, GA was associated with longer last known well to arterial access (203 minutes [157–267] vs 186 minutes [138–252] , p = 0.002), but similar procedural time (35.5 minutes [23–59] vs 34 minutes [22–54] , p = 0.51). Of 182 matched pairs using propensity scores, baseline characteristics were similar. In the propensity score–matched pairs, GA was independently associated with worse functional outcomes (adjusted common odds ratio [adj. cOR]: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.44–0.93, p = 0.021) and higher neurologic worsening (GA: 14.9% vs non-GA: 8.9%, aOR: 2.10, 95% CI: 1.02–4.33, p = 0.045). Patients with poor collaterals had worse functional outcomes with GA (adj. cOR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.29–0.76, p = 0.002), whereas no difference was observed in those with good collaterals (adj. cOR: 0.93, 95% CI: 0.50–1.74, p = 0.82), p interaction : 0.07. No difference was observed in infarct growth overall and in patients with good collaterals, whereas patients with poor collaterals demonstrated larger infarct growth with GA with a significant interaction between collaterals and anesthesia type on infarct growth rate ( p interaction : 0.020). Discussion GA was associated with worse functional outcomes after EVT, particularly in patients with poor collaterals in a propensity score–matched analysis from a pooled patient-level cohort from 3 randomized trials and 1 prospective cohort study. The confounding by indication may persist despite the doubly robust nature of the analysis. These findings have implications for randomized trials of GA vs non-GA and may be of utility for clinicians when making anesthesia type choice. Classification of Evidence This study provides Class III evidence that use of GA is associated with worse functional outcome in patients undergoing EVT.

    Abstract: Background: The effect of anesthesia choice on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) outcomes is unclear. Collateral status on perfusion imaging may help identify the optimal anesthesia choice. Methods: In a pooled patient level analysis of EXTEND-IA, EXTEND-IA TNK, EXTEND-IA TNK part II and SELECT, EVT Functional outcomes (mRS distribution) were compared between general anesthesia (GA) vs non-general anesthesia (non-GA). Further, we assessed the impact of collateral flow on perfusion imaging evaluated by hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) - Tmax10 sec/Tmax6 sec) on the association between anesthesia type and EVT outcomes. Results: Of 731 treated with EVT, 305 (42%) received GA and 426 (58%) non-GA. The baseline characteristics were similar, except for presentation NIHSS (median [IQR] GA 18 [13-22] , non-GA 16[11-20], p 〈 0.001) and ischemic core volume (GA 14.1mL [3-37] vs non-GA 9mL [0-31] , p=0.002). GA was associated with longer LKW to arterial access (203min [158-267] vs 186min [138-252] , p=0.002), but similar procedural time (36min [23-59] vs 34min [22-54] , p=0.36). Non-GA was independently associated with improved functional outcomes (adj cOR 1.42, 95%CI 1.05-1.93, p=0.024) and lower mortality (17% vs 11.3%, p=0.025). Patients with poor collaterals (HIR≥0.4) had improved functional outcomes with non-GA (adj cOR 1.53, 95%CI 1.02-2.29, p=0.038), while no difference was observed in those with good collaterals-HIR 〈 0.4 (adj cOR 1.38, 95% CI 0.84-2.27, p=0.21). Conclusion: GA was associated with worse functional outcomes after EVT, particularly in patients with poor collaterals. These findings have implications for randomized trials of GA vs non-GA.

    Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate functional and safety outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) versus medical management (MM) in patients with M2 occlusion and examine their association with perfusion imaging mismatch and stroke severity. Methods In a pooled, patient‐level analysis of 3 randomized controlled trials (EXTEND‐IA, EXTEND‐and IA‐TNK parts 1 and 2) and 2 prospective nonrandomized studies (INSPIRE and SELECT), we evaluated EVT association with 90‐day functional independence (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] = 0–2) in isolated M2 occlusions as compared to medical management overall and in subgroups by mismatch profile status and stroke severity. Results We included 517 patients (EVT = 195 and MM = 322), baseline median (interquartile range [IQR]) National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) was 13 (8–19) in EVT versus 10 (6–15) in MM, p   〈  0.001. Pretreatment ischemic core did not differ (EVT = 10 [0–24] ml vs MM = 9 [3–21] ml, p  = 0.59). Compared to MM, EVT was more frequently associated with functional independence (68.3 vs 61.6%, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 2.42, 95% confidence interval [CI]  = 1.25–4.67, p  = 0.008, inverse probability of treatment weights [IPTW]‐OR = 1.75, 95% CI = 1.00–3.75, p  = 0.05) with a shift toward better mRS outcomes (adjusted cOR = 2.02, 95% CI:1.23–3.29, p  = 0.005), and lower mortality (5 vs 10%, aOR = 0.32, 95% CI = 0.12–0.87, p  = 0.025). EVT was associated with higher functional independence in patients with a perfusion mismatch profile (EVT = 70.7% vs MM = 61.3%, aOR = 2.29, 95% CI = 1.09–4.79, p  = 0.029, IPTW‐OR = 2.02, 1.08–3.78, p  = 0.029), whereas no difference was found in those without mismatch (EVT = 43.8% vs MM = 62.7%, p  = 0.17, IPTW‐OR: 0.71, 95% CI = 0.18–2.78, p  = 0.62). Functional independence was more frequent with EVT in patients with moderate or severe strokes, as defined by baseline NIHSS above any thresholds from 6 to 10, whereas there was no difference between groups with milder strokes below these thresholds. Interpretation In patients with M2 occlusion, EVT was associated with improved clinical outcomes when compared to MM. This association was primarily observed in patients with a mismatch profile and those with higher stroke severity. ANN NEUROL 2022;91:629–639

    Abstract: The role of endovascular thrombectomy is uncertain for patients presenting beyond 24 hours of the time they were last known well. Objective To evaluate functional and safety outcomes for endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) vs medical management in patients with large-vessel occlusion beyond 24 hours of last known well. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective observational cohort study enrolled patients between July 2012 and December 2021 at 17 centers across the United States, Spain, Australia, and New Zealand. Eligible patients had occlusions in the internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery (M1 or M2 segment) and were treated with EVT or medical management beyond 24 hours of last known well. Interventions Endovascular thrombectomy or medical management (control). Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome was functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score 0-2). Mortality and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) were safety outcomes. Propensity score (PS)–weighted multivariable logistic regression analyses were adjusted for prespecified clinical characteristics, perfusion parameters, and/or Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) and were repeated in subsequent 1:1 PS-matched cohorts. Results Of 301 patients (median [IQR] age, 69 years [59-81] ; 149 female), 185 patients (61%) received EVT and 116 (39%) received medical management. In adjusted analyses, EVT was associated with better functional independence (38% vs control, 10%; inverse probability treatment weighting adjusted odds ratio [IPTW aOR], 4.56; 95% CI, 2.28-9.09; P   & amp;lt; .001) despite increased odds of sICH (10.1% for EVT vs 1.7% for control; IPTW aOR, 10.65; 95% CI, 2.19-51.69; P  = .003). This association persisted after PS-based matching on (1) clinical characteristics and ASPECTS (EVT, 35%, vs control, 19%; aOR, 3.14; 95% CI, 1.02-9.72; P  = .047); (2) clinical characteristics and perfusion parameters (EVT, 35%, vs control, 17%; aOR, 4.17; 95% CI, 1.15-15.17; P  = .03); and (3) clinical characteristics, ASPECTS, and perfusion parameters (EVT, 45%, vs control, 21%; aOR, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.04-18.53; P  = .04). Patients receiving EVT had lower odds of mortality (26%) compared with those in the control group (41%; IPTW aOR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.27-0.89; P  = .02). Conclusions and Relevance In this study of treatment beyond 24 hours of last known well, EVT was associated with higher odds of functional independence compared with medical management, with consistent results obtained in PS-matched subpopulations and patients with presence of mismatch, despite increased odds of sICH. Our findings support EVT feasibility in selected patients beyond 24 hours. Prospective studies are warranted for confirmation.

    Abstract: Reperfusion therapy is highly beneficial for ischemic stroke. Reduction in both infarct growth and edema are plausible mediators of clinical benefit with reperfusion. We aimed to quantify these mediators and their interrelationship. Methods In a pooled, patient‐level analysis of the EXTEND‐IA trials and SELECT study, we used a mediation analysis framework to quantify infarct growth and cerebral edema (midline shift) mediation effect on successful reperfusion (modified Treatment in Cerebral Ischemia ≥ 2b) association with functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale distribution). Furthermore, we evaluated an additional pathway to the original hypothesis, where infarct growth mediated successful reperfusion effect on midline shift. Results A total 542 of 665 (81.5%) eligible patients achieved successful reperfusion. Baseline clinical and imaging characteristics were largely similar between those achieving successful versus unsuccessful reperfusion. Median infarct growth was 12.3ml (interquartile range [IQR] = 1.8–48.4), and median midline shift was 0mm (IQR = 0–2.2). Of 249 (37%) demonstrating a midline shift of ≥1mm, median shift was 2.75mm (IQR = 1.89–4.21). Successful reperfusion was associated with reductions in both predefined mediators, infarct growth (β = −1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] = −1.51 to −0.88, p   〈  0.001) and midline shift (adjusted odds ratio = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.23–0.57, p   〈  0.001). Successful reperfusion association with improved functional outcome (adjusted common odds ratio [acOR] = 2.68, 95% CI = 1.86–3.88, p   〈  0.001) became insignificant (acOR = 1.39, 95% CI = 0.95–2.04, p  = 0.094) when infarct growth and midline shift were added to the regression model. Infarct growth and midline shift explained 45% and 34% of successful reperfusion effect, respectively. Analysis considering an alternative hypothesis demonstrated consistent results. Interpretation In this mediation analysis from a pooled, patient‐level cohort, a significant proportion (~80%) of successful reperfusion effect on functional outcome was mediated through reduction in infarct growth and cerebral edema. Further studies are required to confirm our findings, detect additional mediators to explain successful reperfusion residual effect, and identify novel therapeutic targets to further enhance reperfusion benefits.

    Abstract: Background: Limited data are available on endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) efficacy and safety in large vessel occlusion (LVO) patients presenting 〉 24hr from last known well (LKW). We compared outcomes between patients receiving EVT and best medical management (MM) in a multicenter international cohort. Methods: Consecutive patients with anterior circulation LVO presenting 〉 24h after LKW from 13 centers from 7/2012-4/2021 were analyzed. Multivariable models for 90d mRS distribution and symptomatic ICH were adjusted for age, NIHSS, glucose, IV tPA, transfer status, clot location, time from LKW, CT ASPECTS and ischemic core (rCBF 〈 30%) and Tmax 〉 6s volumes. Results: Of 240 patients with a median (IQR) LKW to presentation 28.3h (24.9-38.2), 153 (64%) received EVT. Baseline characteristics were similar except for NIHSS (EVT: 13 (8-20) vs MM: 17 (10-22), p=0.005), CT ASPECTS (EVT: 8(6-9) vs MM: 4(3-6), p 〈 0.001) and ischemic core 2.5(0-13) vs 15(0-71) mL, p 〈 0.001. EVT was associated with a better shift in 90d mRS (acOR: 2.45, 95% CI=1.42-4.22, p=0.001), higher functional independence (42% vs 10%, aOR: 4.84, 95% CI=2.02-11.64, p 〈 0.001) and numerically lower mortality (22% vs 42%, aOR: 0.50, 95% CI=0.23-1.06, p=0.071), Fig 1A. However, EVT was associated with numerically higher sICH (5.5% vs 0%, p=0.10). Following EVT, 82% achieved successful reperfusion (mTICI 2b-3), which was associated with better shift in 90d mRS (acOR: 5.82, 95% CI: 1.77-19.10, p=0.004), higher functional independence (44% vs 22%, aOR: 5.03, 95% CI: 0.87-29.12, p=0.07) and lower mortality (20% vs 52%, aOR: 0.08, 95% CI: 0.01-0.57, p=0.01), Fig 1B. Conclusions: EVT may be associated with better functional outcomes, despite numerically increased risk of sICH in patients presenting with anterior circulation LVO beyond 24 hours. Further prospective studies are warranted.
