Long-term Outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients Treated with Endovascular Thrombectomy

Objectives: To determine the long-term outcome of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients after endovascular thrombectomy (ET),to identify risk factors for long-term unfavorable outcome,and to investigate differences between patients with large-artery atherosclerosis (LAA) and cardioembolism.Methods: This study is a prospective registry study of revascularization therapy for AIS in Xuanwu Hospital from December 2012 to April 2016.The long-term outcome was collected via telephone interview and/or clinic visits.Favorable outcome was defined as modified Ranks scale(mRS) scores 0-2,and unfavorable outcome was defined as mRS scores 3-6.The primary outcome was mRS at the time of assessment.Results: Eighty nine out of 99 AIS subjects with large artery occlusion in anterior circulation and treated with Solitaire FR were eligible for analysis.Median follow-up duration was 20 months (IQR 6-32),and 47 (53%) subjects achieved favorable outcome whereas 17 (19%) subjects were functional dependence and 25 (28%) subjects died.Independent predicators for long-term unfavorable outcome were baseline NIHSS score (OR: 1.22;95% CI 1.09-1.36;p=0.001) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) (OR: 25.14;95% CI 2.20-287.72;p=0.010).More subjects of LAA were treated with permanent intracranial stenting (22%vs.10%) as compared with those of cardioembolism.Subjects of cardioembolism are more likely to experience sICH (19%vs.8%) and die (32%vs.16%) as compared with those of LAA.Conclusions: Over half of AIS patients can achieve favorable long-term outcomes after ET.Higher baseline NIHSS scores and presence of sICH are independently associated with unfavorable outcome.Subjects of cardioembolism are more likely to experience sICH and die.
