Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Endovascular Treatment in Posterior Circulation Occlusions: A MR CLEAN Registry Study

Stroke Journal

JANUARY 4, 2024

BACKGROUND:The effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) has been investigated in randomized trials and meta-analyses. These studies mainly concerned anterior circulation occlusions. All patients with a posterior circulation occlusion were included.

Posterior circulation tandem occlusion was defined as stroke due to intracranial vertebral (V4), basilar, or posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions, with tandem steno-occlusive lesion >70% of the extracranial vertebral artery and impaired distal flow or partial filling of the VA from collaterals.

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is associated with up to 32% of posterior circulation strokes.1 Rescue treatment with stenting, balloon angioplasty, and/or intraarterial thrombolysis or antiplatelets are often required to treat the underlying stenosis.

Secondary outcomes were in‐hospital mortality, intracerebral hemorrhage, and length of stay. In multivariable models, intravenous thrombolysis was independently associated with higher odds of routine discharge (adjusted OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.57–2.01;P<0.001) The primary outcome was routine discharge (home or self‐care).

We defined two binary outcomes: (1) functional clinical outcome (modified Rankin Scale 0-2) and (2) early symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Among patients who underwent emergency intracranial stenting, 66 (30.6%) received intravenous thrombolytic treatment.

The primary outcome measure was successful recanalization defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia (mTICI) score of 2b or higher. 90-day modified Rankin score (mRS) 0-2, mortality and symptomatic hemorrhage were used as secondary outcomes.

Prolonged ICU stay were more likely to have higher baseline median NIHSS score (19 vs. 14%, p < 0.0001), posterior circulation stroke (12.6% vs. 6.1%, p = 0.0326), and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (7.3% Patients receiving thrombolysis prior to thrombectomy were less likely to have a prolonged LOS (27.8%

IntroductionPosterior circulation strokes account for 20% of ischemic strokes (1). Optimal management for posterior circulation strokes has been studied less than for anterior circulation strokes (2). Following embolization, repeat imaging showed no new infarcts and no new or worsening hemorrhage.

Background:Atrial fibrillation (AF) has been shown to be associated with better procedural outcomes in patients with anterior circulation large vessel occlusion (aLVO) undergoing endovascular therapy (EVT). Forty-four percent of the no AC group received intravenous thrombolysis (IVT). In the NOAC group, 59.5%

Reperfusion following thrombectomy in the anterior cerebral circulation has long been graded by the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) scale-and the score of mTICI (2b, or, “partial filling of more than 50% of the affected vascular territory” is considered the benchmark for “good” outcomes in EVT.

A failed MT was defined as a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) score of 0 to 2a after multiple attempts to clot retrieval. Additional outcomes included functional independence (defined as a 90‐day mRS score of 0‐2), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH), and mortality at 90 days.
