Abstract 1122‐000202: Two World Wars, Two Pandemics and Then Stroke:Thrombectomy, Angioplasty and Stenting in a 110‐Year‐Old Patient
Introduction : Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the standard of care in patients with acute stroke due to large vessel occlusion. In an aging population it is important to know EVT outcomes in old age, despite patients over 80 years are mostly excluded from major trial. While the oldest reported patients undergoing EVT was 102 years old, we report a 110 years old patient as the oldest patient undergoing EVT for stroke reported in the literature, and discuss the technical details and outcome. Methods : n/a Results : A 110‐ year‐old patient presented with right side weakness and slurred speech and found to have left middle cerebral artery occlusion. She received tenecteplase and transferred to angio‐suite 1 hour and 35 minutes after onset of symptoms. Left middle cerebral artery underwent two passes with stentriever, balloon angioplasty and stent deployment resulting in thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (TICI) 3 reperfusion. Brain MRI showed infarction in the left basal ganglia and left temporal cortex. After thrombectomy she was able to hold right arm and leg against gravity and follow commands. However, patient developed aspiration pneumonia and passed away after family chose to focus care on her comfort and refused tracheostomy and gastric tube. Conclusions : Despite poor clinical outcome, this case presents technical success in good recanalization, resulting in small infarct core and immediate neurological improvement in the oldest reported acute stroke patient undergoing thrombectomy.
