Background: Recent trials have demonstrated a reduction in death or disability with endovascular treatment in patients with acute ischemic strokes. However, readmission rates and predictors are not known. Objective: To identify rates and factors associated with 30-day readmission after endovascular treatment in ischemic stroke patients. Methods: Nationwide Readmissions Data (NRD) between 2010 and 2017 was utilized to identify endovascular treatment in acute ischemic stroke patients using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. We used hierarchical logistic regression model to identify factors associated with 30-day readmissions. Results: Among 17, 562 acute ischemic stroke patients who survived to discharge after endovascular treatment, 2334 (13.29%) were readmitted within 30-days. Age => 65 years (odds ratio [OR]: 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09 to 1.39, p =0.0005), chronic kidney disease (OR: 1.28, 95%CI: 1.12 to 1.47, p = 0.0004), congestive heart failure (OR: 1.25, 95%CI: 1.13 to 1.39, p <.0001), post procedure intracranial hemorrhage (OR: 1.09, 95%CI: 0.99 to 1.20, p = 0.04) and diabetes mellitus (OR: 1.09, 95%CI: 0.99 to 1.20, p = .09) during the index hospitalization were associated with readmission within 30 days. Conclusion: In this large nationally representative study, nearly one in 10 patients were readmitted within 30 days after discharge in acute ischemic stroke patients undergoing endovascular treatment. Medical comorbidities and post procedure intracranial hemorrhage were associated with 30-day readmission.

Background and Purpose— The use of oral anticoagulants (OAC) is considered a contra-indication for intravenous thrombolytics as acute treatment of ischemic stroke. However, little is known about the risks and benefits of endovascular treatment in patients on prior OAC. We aim to compare outcomes after endovascular treatment between patients with and without prior use of OAC. Methods— Data of patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by an intracranial anterior circulation occlusion, included in the nationwide, prospective, MR CLEAN Registry between March 2014 and November 2017, were analyzed. Outcomes of interest included symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and functional outcome at 90 days (modified Rankin Scale score). Outcomes between groups were compared with (ordinal) logistic regression analyses, adjusted for prognostic factors. Results— Three thousand one hundred sixty-two patients were included in this study, of whom 502 (16%) used OAC. There was no significant difference in the occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage between patients with and without prior OACs (5% versus 6%; adjusted odds ratio, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.38–1.06]). Patients on OACs had worse functional outcomes than patients without OACs (common odds ratio, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.47–0.66]). However, this observed difference in functional outcome disappeared after adjustment for prognostic factors (adjusted common odds ratio, 0.91 [95% CI, 0.74–1.13]). Conclusions— Prior OAC use in patients treated with endovascular treatment for ischemic stroke is not associated with an increased risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage or worse functional outcome compared with no prior OAC use. Therefore, prior OAC use should not be a contra-indication for endovascular treatment.

Background: Patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to atrial fibrillation (afib) may have increased complications from intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular treatment (ET) compared to other stroke subtypes. The purpose of this study was to compare the rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) in patients with and without a history of a fib treated with IV rt-PA and/or ET. Methods: Consecutive stroke code activations were retrospectively analyzed from January 2004-June 2020 at an academic comprehensive stroke center. Patients were included if they were treated with IV rt-PA and/or ET within 24 hours of stroke onset. Patients were stratified into the six groups:1-No hx of a fib with ET only, 2-Hx of a fib with ET only, 3-No hx of a fib with IV rt-PA plus ET, 4-Hx of a fib with IV rt-PA plus ET, 5-No hx of a fib with IV rt-PA only, 6-Hx of a fib with IV rt-PA only. Primary outcome was defined as any sICH within 72 hours of treatment using the NINDS definition. Baseline demographics were compared. Chi squared was used to assess differences in sICH rates and logistic regression to compare individual groups. Analyses were both unadjusted and adjusted for baseline NIHSS, age, sex, baseline blood pressure, pre-stroke mRS, smoking status, and baseline glucose. Results: We identified 720 AIS patients who received acute treatment (IV rt-PA: n=578; ET: n=100; IV rt-PA+ET:n=18). There was a significant difference in sex (p=0.005); Hispanic ethnicity (p=0.002); current smoking (p=<0.001); current alcohol use (p=0.03), CHF (p=0.01); and age (p<0.0001) between groups. Baseline NIHSS was significantly higher in Group 4 (23, SD 8, p=<0.001).In adjusted analysis, there was no significant difference in sICH in patients with a fib after receiving IVtPA (OR 1.53, CI 0.47-4.99, p=0.48), ET (OR 0.93 , CI 0-∞, p=1.00), or both (OR 0.25,CI 0.00-9.07, p=0.45) compared to those without afib. There was no significant difference in sICH in adjusted analyses in patients with and without a fib overall (OR 0.93, CI 0-∞, p=1.00). Conclusion: In this study, atrial fibrillation did not have a significant impact on rates of sICH in AIS patients treated with IV rt-PA, ET, or both. This study supports the safety of IV rt-PA, ET, and combination therapy in the atrial fibrillation population.

Background and purposeIntravenous thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator is standard treatment in acute stroke today. The benefit of endovascular treatment has been questioned. Recently, studies evaluating endovascular treatment and intravenous thrombolysis compared with intravenous thrombolysis alone, have reported improved outcome for the intervention group. The aim of this study was to perform a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials comparing endovascular treatment in addition to intravenous thrombolysis with intravenous thrombolysis alone.MethodsDatabases were searched for eligible randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was a functional neurological outcome after 90 days. A secondary outcome was severe disability and death. Data were pooled in the control and intervention groups, and OR was calculated on an intention to treat basis with 95% CIs. Outcome heterogeneity was evaluated with Cochrane's Q test (significance level cut-off value at <0.10) and I2 (significance cut-off value >50%) with the Mantel–Haenszel method for dichotomous outcomes. A p value <0.05 was regarded as statistically significant.ResultsSix studies met the eligibility criteria, and data from 1569 patients were analyzed. A higher probability of a functional neurological outcome after 90 days was found for the intervention group (OR 2, 95% CI 2 to 3). There was a significantly higher probability of death and severe disability in the control group compared with the intervention group.ConclusionsEndovascular treatment in addition to intravenous thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke leads to an improved clinical outcome after 3 months, compared with patients receiving intravenous thrombolysis alone.
