    Kurzfassung: Recently, 3 randomized controlled trials provided high-level evidence that patients with large ischemic stroke achieved better functional outcomes after endovascular therapy than with medical care alone. We aimed to investigate whether the clinical benefit of endovascular therapy is associated with the number of recanalization attempts in extensive baseline infarction. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study enrolled patients from the German Stroke Registry who underwent endovascular therapy for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion between 2015 and 2021. Large ischemic stroke was defined as an Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score of 3 to 5. The study cohort was divided into patients with unsuccessful reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, 0–2a) and successful reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, 2b/3) at attempts 1, 2, 3, or ≥4. The primary outcome was favorable functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 3 at 90 days. Safety outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after 24 hours and death within 90 days. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent determinants of primary and secondary outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 348 patients met the inclusion criteria. Successful reperfusion was observed in 83.3% and favorable functional outcomes in 36.2%. Successful reperfusion at attempts 1 (adjusted odds ratio, 5.97 [95% CI, 1.71–24.43]; P =0.008) and 2 (adjusted odds ratio, 6.32 [95% CI, 1.73–26.92]; P =0.008) increased the odds of favorable functional outcome, whereas success at attempts 3 or ≥4 did not. Patients with 〉 2 attempts showed higher rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (12.8% versus 6.5%; P =0.046). Successful reperfusion at any attempt lowered the odds of death compared with unsuccessful reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with large vessel occlusion and Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score of 3 to 5, the clinical benefit of endovascular therapy was linked to the number of recanalization attempts required for successful reperfusion. Our findings encourage to perform at least 2 recanalization attempts to seek for successful reperfusion in large ischemic strokes, while 〉 2 attempts should follow a careful risk-benefit assessment in these highly affected patients.

    Kurzfassung: Data on the frequency and outcome of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for large vessel occlusion (LVO) in patients with COVID-19 is limited. Addressing this subject, we report our multicenter experience. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed of consecutive acute stroke patients with COVID-19 infection treated with MT at 26 tertiary care centers between January 2020 and November 2021. Baseline demographics, angiographic outcome and clinical outcome evaluated by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at discharge and 90 days were noted. Results We identified 111 out of 11 365 (1%) patients with acute or subsided COVID-19 infection who underwent MT due to LVO. Cardioembolic events were the most common etiology for LVO (38.7%). Median baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score were 16 (IQR 11.5–20) and 9 (IQR 7–10), respectively. Successful reperfusion (mTICI ≥2b) was achieved in 97/111 (87.4%) patients and 46/111 (41.4%) patients were reperfused completely. The procedure-related complication rate was 12.6% (14/111). Functional independence was achieved in 20/108 (18.5%) patients at discharge and 14/66 (21.2%) at 90 days follow-up. The in-hospital mortality rate was 30.6% (33/108). In the subgroup analysis, patients with severe acute COVID-19 infection requiring intubation had a mortality rate twice as high as patients with mild or moderate acute COVID-19 infection. Acute respiratory failure requiring ventilation and time interval from symptom onset to groin puncture were independent predictors for an unfavorable outcome in a logistic regression analysis. Conclusion Our study showed a poor clinical outcome and high mortality, especially in patients with severe acute COVID-19 infection undergoing MT due to LVO.

    Kurzfassung: Endovascular therapy is the standard of care in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion. A direct association between the number of device passes and the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) has been suggested. This study represents an in-depth investigation of the hypothesis that 〉 3 retrieval attempts is associated with an increased rate of SICH in a large multicenter patient cohort. Methods: Two thousand six hundred eleven patients from the prospective German Stroke Registry were analyzed. Patients who received Endovascular therapy for acute large-vessel occlusion of the anterior circulation with known admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, final Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction, and number of retrieval passes were included. The primary outcome was defined as SICH. The secondary outcome was any type of radiologically confirmed intracranial hemorrhage within the first 24 hours. Multivariate mixed-effects models were used to adjust for cluster effects of the participating centers, as well as for confounders. Results: Five hundred ninety-three patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The median number of retrieval passes was 2 [interquartile range, 1–3]. SICH occurred in 26 cases (4.4%), whereas intracranial hemorrhage was identified by neuroimaging in 85 (14.3%) cases. More than 3 retrieval passes was the strongest predictor for SICH (odds ratio, 3.61 [95% CI, 1.38–9.42] , P =0.0089) following adjustment for age, admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, admission Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, and Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction, as well as time from symptom onset to flow restoration. Baseline Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score of 8 to 9 (odds ratio, 0.26 [95% CI, 0.07–0.89], P =0.032) or 10 (odds ratio, 0.21 [95% CI, 0.06–0.78], P =0.020) were significant protective factors against the occurrence of SICH. Conclusions: More than 3 retrieval attempts is associated with a significant increase in SICH risk, regardless of patient age, baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, or procedure time. This should be considered when deciding whether to continue a procedure, especially in patients with large baseline infarctions.

    Kurzfassung: Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular treatment in anterior circulation large vessel occlusions. However, outcome of patients treated in daily practice differs from the results of the clinical trials. We hypothesize that this is attributable to the study criteria and that application of the criteria on patients undergoing endovascular therapy in daily routine would improve their outcome. Methods and Results Data from a multicenter prospective registry of GSR‐ET (German Stroke Registry – Endovascular Treatment) was used. Inclusion criteria and selectivity of SWIFT‐PRIME (Solitaire with the Intention for Thrombectomy as Primary Endovascular Treatment trial), MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands trial), ESCAPE (Endovascular Treatment for Small Core and Anterior Circulation Proximal Occlusion with Emphasis on Minimizing CT to Recanalization Times trial), DAWN (DWI or CTP Assessment with Clinical Mismatch in the Triage of Wake‐Up and Late Presenting Strokes Undergoing Neurointervention with Trevo trial) and DEFUSE‐3 (Endovascular Therapy Following Imaging Evaluation for Ischemic Stroke trial) trials were analyzed. Baseline characteristics, procedural and outcome data of patients from GSR‐ET before and after selection were compared with the results of the RCTs. Furthermore, outcome of patients who underwent endovascular treatment despite not fulfilling the RCT criteria was analyzed. A total of 2611 patients were included (median age, 75 years; 49.6% women; median National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, 16). A minority of patients met all inclusion criteria, ranging from 3% (DEFUSE‐3 criteria) to 35% (MR CLEAN criteria). Of the patients fulfilling the MR CLEAN criteria, 41% of patients had a good clinical outcome, compared with 34% of patients that did not fulfill MR CLEAN criteria. Conclusions The RCTs represent a selected population with higher rates of good clinical outcome compared with daily practice. The good outcomes of RCTs can be reproduced in clinical routine in patients who fulfill the RCT inclusion criteria. Furthermore, patients who did not meet the criteria of the RCT still had substantial rates of good clinical outcome.

    Kurzfassung: The aim of this study was to analyze sex differences in outcome after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in clinical practice in a large prospective multicenter registry. Methods Data of consecutive stroke patients treated with thrombectomy (June 2015–April 2018) derived from an industry-independent registry (German Stroke Registry–Endovascular Treatment) were prospectively analyzed. Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were applied to determine whether sex is a predictor of functional independence outcome (defined as a modified Rankin scale [mRS] 0–2) 90 days after stroke. Results In total, 2316 patients were included in the analysis, 1170 (50.5%) were female and 1146 (49.5%) were male. Women were older (median age 78 vs. 72 years; p   〈  0.001) and more frequently had a prestroke functional impairment defined by mRS 〉 1 (24.8% vs. 14.1%; p   〈  0.001). In unadjusted analyses, independent outcome at 90 days was less frequent in women (33.2%) than men (40.6%; p   〈  0.001). Likewise, mortality was higher in women than in men (30.7% vs. 26.4%; p  = 0.024). In adjusted regression analyses, however, sex was not associated with outcome. Lower age, a lower baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, a higher Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score, prestroke functional independence, successful reperfusion, and concomitant intravenous thrombolysis therapy predicted independent outcome. Conclusion Women showed a worse functional outcome after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in clinical practice; however, after adjustment for crucial confounders sex was not a predictor of outcome. The difference in outcome thus appears to result from differences in confounding factors such as age and prestroke functional status.

    Kurzfassung: This study evaluates the benefit of endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with extensive baseline stroke compared with best medical treatment. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study compares EVT and best medical treatment for computed tomography (CT)–based selection of patients with extensive baseline infarcts (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score ≤5) attributed to anterior circulation stroke. Patients were selected from the German Stroke Registry and 3 tertiary stroke centers. Primary functional end points were rates of good (modified Rankin Scale score of ≤3) and very poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of ≥5) at 90 days. Secondary safety end point was the occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Angiographic outcome was evaluated with the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale. Results: After 1:1 pair matching, a total of 248 patients were compared by treatment arm. Good functional outcome was observed in 27.4% in the EVT group, and in 25% in the best medical treatment group ( P =0.665). Advanced age (adjusted odds ratio, 1.08 [95% CI, 1.05–1.10], P 〈 0.001) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio, 6.35 [95% CI, 2.08–19.35], P 〈 0.001) were independently associated with very poor outcome. Mortality (43.5% versus 28.9%, P =0.025) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (16.1% versus 5.6%, P =0.008) were significantly higher in the EVT group. The lowest rates of good functional outcome (≈15%) were observed in groups of failed and partial recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 0/1–2a), whereas patients with complete recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 3) with recanalization attempts ≤2 benefitted the most (modified Rankin Scale score of ≤3:42.3%, P =0.074) compared with best medical treatment. Conclusions: In daily clinical practice, EVT for CT–based selected patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score anterior circulation stroke may not be beneficial and is associated with increased risk for hemorrhage and mortality, especially in the elderly. However, first- or second-pass complete recanalization seems to reveal a clinical benefit of EVT highlighting the vulnerability of the low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score subgroup.

    Kurzfassung: Endovascular therapy is the standard of care in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke due to large-vessel occlusion. Often, more than one retrieval attempt is needed to achieve reperfusion. We aimed to quantify the influence of endovascular therapy on clinical outcome depending on the number of retrievals needed for successful reperfusion in a large multi-center cohort. Methods: For this observational cohort study, 2611 patients from the prospective German Stroke Registry included between June 2015 and April 2018 were analyzed. Patients who received endovascular therapy for acute anterior circulation stroke with known admission National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, final Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, and number of retrievals were included. Successful reperfusion was defined as a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score of 2b or 3. The primary outcome was defined as functional independence (modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2) at day 90. Multivariate mixed-effects models were used to adjust for cluster effects of the participating centers and confounders. Results: The inclusion criteria were met by 1225 patients. The odds of good clinical outcome decreased with every retrieval attempt required for successful reperfusion: the first retrieval had the highest odds of good clinical outcome (adjusted odds ratio, 6.45 [95% CI, 4.0–10.4]), followed by the second attempt (adjusted odds ratio, 4.56 [95% CI, 2.7–7.7] ), and finally the third (adjusted odds ratio, 3.16 [95% CI, 1.8–5.6]). Conclusions: Successful reperfusion within the first 3 retrieval attempts is associated with improved clinical outcome compared with patients without reperfusion. We conclude that at least 3 retrieval attempts should be performed in endovascular therapy of anterior circulation strokes. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov .

    Kurzfassung: Clinical evidence of the potential treatment benefit of intravenous thrombolysis preceding unsuccessful mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is scarce. Objective To determine whether intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) prior to unsuccessful MT improves functional outcomes in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Design, Setting, and Participants Patients were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study from the prospective, observational, multicenter German Stroke Registry–Endovascular Treatment between May 1, 2015, and December 31, 2021. This study compared IVT plus MT vs MT alone in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion in whom mechanical reperfusion was unsuccessful. Unsuccessful mechanical reperfusion was defined as failed (final modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction grade of 0 or 1) or partial (grade 2a). Patients meeting the inclusion criteria were matched by treatment group using 1:1 propensity score matching. Interventions Mechanical thrombectomy with or without IVT. Main Outcomes and Measures Primary outcome was functional independence at 90 days, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2. Safety outcomes were the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and death. Results After matching, 746 patients were compared by treatment arms (median age, 78 [IQR, 68-84] years; 438 women [58.7%] ). The proportion of patients who were functionally independent at 90 days was 68 of 373 (18.2%) in the IVT plus MT and 42 of 373 (11.3%) in the MT alone group (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 2.63 [95% CI, 1.41-5.11] ; P  = .003). There was a shift toward better functional outcomes on the modified Rankin Scale favoring IVT plus MT (adjusted common OR, 1.98 [95% CI, 1.35-2.92]; P   & amp;lt; .001). The treatment benefit of IVT was greater in patients with partial reperfusion compared with failed reperfusion. There was no difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages between treatment groups (AOR, 0.71 [95% CI, 0.29-1.81]; P  = .45), while the death rate was lower after IVT plus MT (AOR, 0.54 [95% CI, 0.34-0.86]; P  = .01). Conclusions and Relevance These findings suggest that prior IVT was safe and improved functional outcomes at 90 days. Partial reperfusion was associated with a greater treatment benefit of IVT, indicating a positive interaction between IVT and MT. These results support current guidelines that all eligible patients with stroke should receive IVT before MT and add a new perspective to the debate on noninferiority of combined stroke treatment.

    Kurzfassung: Patient-specific factors associated with successful recanalization in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have been evaluated for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. However, MT for M2 occlusions is still a matter of debate, and predictors of successful and futile recanalization have not been assessed in detail. We sought to identify predictors of recanalization success in patients with M2 occlusions undergoing MT based on large-scale clinical data. METHODS: All patients prospectively enrolled in the German Stroke Registry (May, 2015 to December, 2021) were screened (N=13 082). Inclusion criteria for the complete case analysis were isolated M2 occlusions. Standard descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to identify factors associated with successful recanalization (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI]≥2b), complete recanalization (TICI=3) and futile recanalization (TICI≥2b with 90-day modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 〉 2). RESULTS: One thousand two hundred ninety-four patients were included, thereof 439 (33.9%) with TICI=2b and 643 (49.7%) with TICI=3. Five hundred sixty-nine (44%) patients had good functional outcome (90-day mRS score ≤2). In multivariable logistic regression, general anesthesia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.47 [95% CI, 1.05–2.09] ; P 〈 0.05) was associated with higher probability of TICI≥2b while intraprocedural change from local to general anesthesia (aOR, 0.49 [0.26–0.95]; P 〈 0.05) and higher pre-mRS (aOR, 0.75 [0.67–0.85]; P 〈 0.001) lowered probability of successful recanalization. Futile recanalization was associated with higher age (aOR, 1.05 [1.04–1.07]; P 〈 0.001), higher prestroke mRS (aOR, 3.12 [2.49–3.91]; P 〈 0.001), higher NIHSS at admission (aOR, 1.11 [1.08–1.14]; P 〈 0.001), diabetes (aOR, 1.96 [1.38–2.8]; P 〈 0.001), higher number of passes (aOR, 1.29 [1.14–1.46]; P 〈 0.001), and adverse events (aOR, 1.82 [1.2–2.74]; P 〈 0.01). Higher Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (aOR, 0.85 [0.76–0.94]; P 〈 0.01) and IV thrombolysis (aOR, 0.71 [0.52–0.97]; P 〈 0.05) reduced risk of futile recanalization. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with M2 occlusions, successful recanalization was significantly associated with general anesthesia and low prestroke mRS, while intraprocedural change from conscious sedation to general anesthesia increased risk of unsuccessful recanalization, presumably caused by difficult anatomy and movement of patients in these cases. Futile recanalization was associated with severe prestroke mRS, comorbidity diabetes, number of passes and adverse events during treatment. IV thrombolysis reduced the risk of futile recanalization.
