Background: Direct To Angio (DTA) for transferred large vessel occlusions (LVO) lowers time to endovascular thrombectomy (EVT), reperfusion and potentially improves outcomes. Safety and efficacy of DTA in late time window and on-call hours is unknown. Methods: Pooled cohort from 6 centers (EU, US) from 1/14-5/20 (ICA, M1, M2) LVO pts transferred for EVT≤24 hrs from LKW. Pts stratified into with repeat imaging (RI) (CT+/- CTA/CTP) and without RI (DTA). We compared time metrics, good outcome (90 day mRS 0-2), safety (sICH, mortality) and assessed the impact of arrival for EVT; regular (M-F, 8am-5pm) vs on-call hrs. Propensity matched analysis was done. Results: Of 1178 EVT transfers, 334 (28%) were DTA. DTA pts had more tPA (61% vs 51%, p=0.002), trended to lower NIHSS 17 (12, 20) vs 17 (13, 21), p=0.07 and lower LKW to arrival 268 (190, 430) min vs 280 (190, 518), p=0.097. Groin puncture (GP) was faster with DTA (p<0.001) Fig 1. Good outcomes were higher with DTA overall (53% vs 38%, aOR 1.7, 95%CI 1.3-2.4, p=0.001), regular (54% vs 41%, p=0.07) and on-call hrs (52% vs 36%, p=0.008), mortality was lower overall (17% vs 24%, p=0.04) and all hrs Fig 2 A-C. sICH rates were similar. A 10 min increase arrival to GP with RI correlated to 5% reduction in good outcome odds (aOR 0.95, 95%CI 0.91-0.99, p=0.01). The results did not vary by time window (0-6 hrs vs >6-24, p=0.88 for interaction). In propensity matched 75 pairs, DTA had shorter time to EVT (19 min vs 52, p<0.001) and higher mRS 0-2 (55% vs 32%, aOR 4.8 (1.9-12.4), p=0.001) fig 2D. However, the probability of mRS 0-2 decreased with increasing transfer times in DTA pts (< 3 hrs 59% vs 36% ≥ 3 hrs, p<0.001) but not in RI (36% vs 37%, p=0.88) fig 3. Conclusion: In pooled, non-randomized data DTA may result in faster treatment, safe and better functional outcomes, during all hours and treatment windows. Repeat imaging may be reasonable with prolonged transfer times. Optimal EVT workflow in transfers may result in faster, safe reperfusion with higher good outcomes.

Introduction: Late time window thrombectomy trials demonstrated that good functional outcomes can be achieved up to 24 hours from stroke onset in Slow Progressors (small infarct volume and large penumbral volume). In this study, we aim to investigate whether early (<6 hours) recanalization leads to superior functional outcomes compared to delayed recanalization (>6 hours) amongst patients with similar 24-hour infarct volumes post thrombectomy. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained LVO stroke thrombectomy database across 3 comprehensive stroke centers. Demographic, clinical, radiological, and outcomes data were analyzed. Inclusion criteria were witnessed onset anterior circulation LVO [internal carotid or middle cerebral artery M1] strokes with a good baseline mRS score (0-1) having achieved success recanalization [mTICI 2b-3] and 24-hour infarct volume of ≤10 ml on CT head or MRI. Univariate and multivariate analysis of the impact of time to recanalization on clinical outcomes was performed. Results: Of the 499 LVO strokes undergoing thrombectomy, 30% (148) met inclusion criteria. Mean age was 70 ±14 and median NIHSS score was 17 (14-21). Early recanalization (<6h) was achieved in 65% (96) of patients. Baseline demographic (age: 73 vs 74, p=0.80) and clinical characteristics (NIHSS:16.5 vs 17, p=0.52; 24-h infarct volume: 4.4 vs 4.2 ml, p=0.60) were comparable between early versus late recanalization patients. Rates of early clinical improvement (24-h NIHSS <6) (71% vs 39%, p=0.0007) and mRS 0-2 at 90 days (68% vs 48%, p=0.019) were higher in early recanalizers compared to late recanalizers. Multivariate analysis including age, NIHSS, time to recanalization, and 24-hour infarct volume identified early recanalization as an independent predictor of mRS 0-2 at 90 days (OR-2.41 95% CI 1.89-4.50). Every 1-hour increase in time to recanalization decreased the odds of 90-day mRS 0-2 by 2.2%. Conclusion: Among patients with similar 24-hour infarct volume post thrombectomy (≤10 ml), shorter time to successful recanalization is associated with significantly higher rates of early clinical improvement and mRS 0-2 at 90 days. Increased penumbral ischemic time may have an impact on outcomes post stroke thrombectomy.

Abstract Objective Impact of different MR perfusion software on selection and outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and large vessel occlusion (LVO) treated by endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is unclear. We aimed at comparing two commercial MRI software, semi-automated with unadjusted (method A) and adjusted mask (method B), and fully automated (method C) in this setting. Methods MRI from 144 consecutive AIS patients with anterior circulation LVO was retrospectively analysed. All diffusion- and perfusion-weighted images (DWI-PWI) were post-processed with the three methods using standard thresholds. Concordance for core and hypoperfusion volumes was assessed with Lin’s test. Clinical outcome was compared between groups in patients who underwent successful EVT in the early and late time window. Results Mean core volume was higher and mean hypoperfusion volume was lower in method C than in methods A and B. In the early time window, methods A and B found fewer patients with a mismatch ratio ≤ 1.2 than method C (1/67 [1.5%] vs. 12/67 [17.9%], p = 0.0013). In the late time window, methods A and B found fewer patients with a mismatch ratio < 1.8 than method C (3/46 [6.5%] and 2/46 [4.3%] vs. 18/46 [39.1%], p ≤ 0.0002). More patients with functional independence at 3 months would not have been treated using method C versus methods A and B in the early (p = 0.0063) and late (p ≤ 0.011) time window. Conclusions MRI software for DWI-PWI analysis may influence patients’ selection before EVT and clinical outcome. Key Points • Method C detects fewer patients with favourable mismatch profile. • Method C might underselect more patients with functional independence at 3 months. • Software used before thrombectomy may influence patients’ outcome.

The Impact

Background: Targeted eloquence-based tissue reperfusion within the primary motor cortex may have differential effect on disability as compared to the traditional volume-based (TICI) reperfusion after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in setting of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: We explored the impact of eloquent reperfusion (ER) within primary motor cortex (PMC) on clinical outcome (mRS) in AIS patients undergoing EVT. ER was defined as presence of flow on final digital subtraction angiography (DSA) within four main cortical branches, supplying the PMC (MCA - precentral, central, anterior parietal; ACA- pericallosal) and graded as absent (0), partial (1), and complete (2). Prospectively collected data from two centers were analyzed. Multivariable analysis was conducted to assess the impact of ER on 90-day disability (mRS) among patients with anterior circulation occlusion who achieved partial reperfusion (TICI 2 a and b). Results: Among the 125 patients who met study criteria, median age was 73, median NIHSS was 16, median ASPECTS was 7, 48% (60/125) were female, and 36.8% achieved functional independence (mRS 0-2) at 90 days. ER distribution was: Absent (0) in 19/125 (15.2%); Partial (1) in 52/125 (41.6%), and Complete (2) in 54/125 (43.2%). TICI 2b was achieved in 102/125 (81.6%) and ER was substantially higher in those patients (p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, in addition to age and sICH, ER had a profound independent impact on 90-day disability (OR 6.10, p=0.001 for ER 1 vs 0; and OR 9.87, p<0.001 for ER 2 vs 0). In contrast, extent of total partial reperfusion (TICI 2b vs 2a) was not related to 90-day disability. Conclusions: Our findings support that eloquent PMC-tissue reperfusion is a major determinant of functional outcome, more impactful than volume-based degree of partial reperfusion. More aggressive, PMC-targeted revascularization among patients with non-eloquent partial reperfusion may further improve post-stroke disability after EVT.

The Impact

Introduction: Few studies have investigated the association between pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS and functional outcome after stent-retriever thrombectomy in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke. Hypothesis: Patients with acute stroke and DWI-ASPECTS <7 might have a similar chance of a good outcome compared to those with a higher DWI-ASPECTS, if they are treated with a stent-retriever thrombectomy in a short time window. However, this hypothesis has not been tested. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the impact of DWI-ASPECTS on functional outcome in patients with acute anterior circulation stroke who received a stent-retriever thrombectomy. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical and DWI data from 171 patients with acute anterior circulation stroke who were treated with stent-retriever thrombectomy within 6 hours of symptom onset. The DWI-ASPECTS was assessed by two readers. A good outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 3 months. Results: The median DWI-ASPECTS was 7 (interquartile range, 6-8). Receiver operating characteristics analysis revealed an ASPECTS ≥ 7 was the optimal cut-off to predict a good outcome at 3 months (area under the curve=0.57; sensitivity, 75.3%; specificity, 34.4%). The rates of good outcome, symptomatic hemorrhage, and mortality were not different between high DWI-ASPECTS (scores of 7-10) and intermediate (scores of 4-6) groups. In patients with an intermediate DWI-ASPECTS, good outcome was achieved in 46.5% (20/43) of patients with successful revascularization (modified TICI 2b or 3), whereas no patients without successful revascularization had a good outcome ( P =0.016). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, independent predictors of good outcome were age and successful revascularization. Conclusions: Our study suggested that treatment outcomes were not different between patients with a high DWI-ASPECTS and those with an intermediate DWI-ASPECTS who underwent stent-retriever thrombectomy for acute anterior circulation stroke. Thus, patients with an intermediate DWI-ASPECTS otherwise eligible for endovascular therapy should not be excluded for stent-retriever thrombectomy or stroke trials.

Quantitative Synthesis

Most studies define the technical success of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) as a Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) revascularization grade of 2b or higher. However, growing evidence suggests that TICI 3 is the best angiographic predictor of improved functional outcomes. To assess the association between successful TICI revascularization grades and functional independence at 90 days, we performed a systematic review and network meta-analysis of thrombectomy studies that reported TICI scores and functional outcomes, measured by the modified Rankin Scale, using the semi-automated AutoLit software platform. Forty studies with 8691 patients were included in the quantitative synthesis. Across TICI, modified TICI (mTICI), and expanded TICI (eTICI), the highest rate of good functional outcomes was observed in patients with TICI 3 recanalization, followed by those with TICI 2c and TICI 2b recanalization, respectively. Rates of good functional outcomes were similar among patients with either TICI 2c or TICI 3 grades. On further sensitivity analysis of the eTICI scale, the rates of good functional outcomes were equivalent between eTICI 2b50 and eTICI 2b67 (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.52 to 1.25). We conclude that near complete or complete revascularization (TICI 2c/3) is associated with higher rates of functional outcomes after EVT.

Endovascular Thrombectomy

Background and Purpose: Endovascular thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion stroke is a time-sensitive intervention. The use of a Mobile Interventional Stroke Team (MIST) traveling to Thrombectomy Capable Stroke Centers to perform endovascular thrombectomy has been shown to be significantly faster with improved discharge outcomes, as compared with the drip-and-ship (DS) model. The effect of the MIST model stratified by time of presentation has yet to be studied. We hypothesize that patients who present in the early window (last known well of ≤6 hours) will have better clinical outcomes in the MIST model. Methods: The NYC MIST Trial and a prospectively collected stroke database were assessed for patients undergoing endovascular thrombectomy from January 2017 to February 2020. Patients presenting in early and late time windows were analyzed separately. The primary end point was the proportion with a good outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2) at 90 days. Secondary end points included discharge National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and modified Rankin Scale. Results: Among 561 cases, 226 patients fit inclusion criteria and were categorized into MIST and DS cohorts. Exclusion criteria included a baseline modified Rankin Scale score of >2, inpatient status, or fluctuating exams. In the early window, 54% (40/74) had a good 90-day outcome in the MIST model, as compared with 28% (24/86) in the DS model ( P <0.01). In the late window, outcomes were similar (35% versus 41%; P =0.77). The median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at discharge was 5.0 and 12.0 in the early window ( P <0.01) and 5.0 and 11.0 in the late window ( P =0.11) in the MIST and DS models, respectively. The early window discharge modified Rankin Scale was significantly better in the MIST model ( P <0.01) and similar in the late window ( P =0.41). Conclusions: The MIST model in the early time window results in better 90-day outcomes compared with the DS model. This may be due to the MIST capturing high-risk fast progressors at an earlier time point. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov ; Unique identifier: NCT03048292.

The Impact

Background. The impact of renal impairment (RI) on the outcomes of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) treated with endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) was relatively limited and contradictory. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate this. Aims. We registered a protocol on September 2020 and searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Google Scholar accordingly. RI was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Predefined outcomes included functional independence (defined as a modified Rankin Scale of 0, 1, or 2) at 3 months, successful reperfusion, mortality, and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Summary of review. Eleven studies involving 3453 patients were included. For the unadjusted outcomes, RI was associated with fewer functional independence (odds ratio (OR), 0.49; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.39–0.62) and higher mortality (OR, 2.55; 95% CI, 2.03–3.21). RI was not associated with successful reperfusion (OR, 0.80; 95% CI 0.63–1.00) and sICH (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 0.95–2.10). For the adjusted outcomes, results derived from a multivariate meta-analysis were consistent with the respective unadjusted outcomes: functional independence (OR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.45–0.77), mortality (OR, 2.23, 95% CI, 1.45–3.43), and sICH (OR, 1.34; 95% CI, 0.85–2.10). Conclusions. We presented the first systematic review to demonstrate that RI is associated with fewer functional independence and higher mortality. Future EVT studies should publish complete renal eGFR data to facilitate prognostic studies and permit eGFR to be analyzed in a continuous variable.

Group 1

The purpose of this study was to compare the functional outcomes of two groups of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) with attention to the impact of reduced length of stay (LOS) in the trauma center (TC) and rehabilitation hospital (RH). From 1991 to 1994, 55 patients, Group 1, with serious TBI (Abbreviated Injury Scale score ≥3) were admitted to a level 1 TC and subsequently transferred to a comprehensive inpatient RH. These results have been previously published. From 1996 to 2002, 64 similarly injured patients, Group 2, received inpatient care at the same TC and RH. These patients had a marked decrease in length of stay. Functional Independence Measures (FIM) were obtained at admission (Adm), discharge (D/C), and at 1 year follow-up for both groups. The average length of stay at the TC dropped from 36 days in Group 1 to 26 days in Group 2. In addition, the average length of stay at the RH dropped from 46 days (Group 1) to 25 days (Group 2); overall, an average reduction of 31 days of inpatient care. Group 2 had significantly lower FIM scores at the time of RH discharge for self-care, locomotion, and mobility compared to Group 1. At the 1 year follow-up, however, there were no significant differences between Groups 1 and 2 in these FIM scores. FIM scores at 1 year were higher in Group 2 for communication (90% vs 71%) and social cognition (77% vs 49%) compared to Group 1. Over one-fourth of each group returned to work by the 1 year follow-up. Socially disruptive behavior occurred at least weekly in 28 per cent (Group 1) and 23 per cent (Group 2) of patients. The outcome for serious TBI is better than generally perceived. Reduction of inpatient LOS did not adversely affect the ultimate functional outcome. The decreased LOS placed a greater demand on outpatient rehabilitative services as well as a greater burden on the family of the brain-injured patient

Introduction: Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is beneficial in late time window stroke. However, patients with tandem extracranial carotid and intracranial occlusions are under-represented in previous trials. We analysed our acute anterior circulation strokes with tandem occlusions treated with EVT and extracranial internal carotid artery stenting. Methods: A prospectively maintained database of EVT patients treated in two Australian comprehensive stroke centres between January 2016 and May 2019 was screened for acute anterior circulation ischaemic stroke patients treated with EVT and extracranial internal carotid artery stenting. The cohort was divided into patients treated in early ( < 6 hours from symptom onset) and late (>6 hours from symptom onset) time windows. Results: Endovascular thrombectomy with acute carotid stenting was performed in 96 patients (mean age 71years, 78.3% male, mean time to reperfusion 13.5 +/- 10.1 hours, median NIHSS 15). Treatment >6hours after symptom onset occurred in 61 (63.5%) patients. No significant difference was seen between the two groups with respect to age, sex, presenting NIHSS, or mTICI score. At 90-day follow-up, good functional outcome (mRS 0-2) was similar for patients treated in the late versus early time windows, 19 (54.3%) vs 34 (55.7%), p=0.89 respectively. No difference was seen for symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage, 5 (7.2%) vs 3 (8.1%) p=0.87, or mortality at 90-day follow-up, 15 (24.6%) vs 6 (17.1%) p=0.40. Conclusion: Carotid stenting in late time window has comparable safety and efficacy to early time window stroke.
