    Kurzfassung: Patient-specific factors associated with successful recanalization in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) have been evaluated for acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. However, MT for M2 occlusions is still a matter of debate, and predictors of successful and futile recanalization have not been assessed in detail. We sought to identify predictors of recanalization success in patients with M2 occlusions undergoing MT based on large-scale clinical data. METHODS: All patients prospectively enrolled in the German Stroke Registry (May, 2015 to December, 2021) were screened (N=13 082). Inclusion criteria for the complete case analysis were isolated M2 occlusions. Standard descriptive statistics and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to identify factors associated with successful recanalization (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI]≥2b), complete recanalization (TICI=3) and futile recanalization (TICI≥2b with 90-day modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 〉 2). RESULTS: One thousand two hundred ninety-four patients were included, thereof 439 (33.9%) with TICI=2b and 643 (49.7%) with TICI=3. Five hundred sixty-nine (44%) patients had good functional outcome (90-day mRS score ≤2). In multivariable logistic regression, general anesthesia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.47 [95% CI, 1.05–2.09] ; P 〈 0.05) was associated with higher probability of TICI≥2b while intraprocedural change from local to general anesthesia (aOR, 0.49 [0.26–0.95]; P 〈 0.05) and higher pre-mRS (aOR, 0.75 [0.67–0.85]; P 〈 0.001) lowered probability of successful recanalization. Futile recanalization was associated with higher age (aOR, 1.05 [1.04–1.07]; P 〈 0.001), higher prestroke mRS (aOR, 3.12 [2.49–3.91]; P 〈 0.001), higher NIHSS at admission (aOR, 1.11 [1.08–1.14]; P 〈 0.001), diabetes (aOR, 1.96 [1.38–2.8]; P 〈 0.001), higher number of passes (aOR, 1.29 [1.14–1.46]; P 〈 0.001), and adverse events (aOR, 1.82 [1.2–2.74]; P 〈 0.01). Higher Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (aOR, 0.85 [0.76–0.94]; P 〈 0.01) and IV thrombolysis (aOR, 0.71 [0.52–0.97]; P 〈 0.05) reduced risk of futile recanalization. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with M2 occlusions, successful recanalization was significantly associated with general anesthesia and low prestroke mRS, while intraprocedural change from conscious sedation to general anesthesia increased risk of unsuccessful recanalization, presumably caused by difficult anatomy and movement of patients in these cases. Futile recanalization was associated with severe prestroke mRS, comorbidity diabetes, number of passes and adverse events during treatment. IV thrombolysis reduced the risk of futile recanalization.

    Kurzfassung: Patients aged ≥90 were excluded or under‐represented in past thrombectomy trials; thus, uncertainty remains whether treatment benefits can be expected regardless of age. This study investigates outcome and safety of thrombectomy in nonagenarians to improve decision making in a real‐world setting. Methods and Results All currently available data of patients aged ≥90 enrolled in the GSR‐ET (German Stroke Registry–Endovascular Treatment) were combined with a smaller cohort from 3 tertiary stroke centers. Baseline characteristics, procedural (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale) and functional outcomes (modified Rankin Scale; mRS ), as well as complications (symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, serious adverse events; SAEs) were analyzed. Good functional outcome was defined as mRS ≤3 at 90‐days. 203 patients with anterior circulation stroke and prestroke mRS ≤3 were included. The rate of successful recanalization (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale ≥2b) was 75.9% (154/203). Good functional outcome ( mRS ≤3) was observed in 21.6% (41 of 193) at 90‐days. In‐hospital mortality was 27.1% (55 of 203) and increased significantly at 90 days to 48.9% (93 of 190; P 〈 0.001). Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occurred in 3% (6 of 203) of patients. Logistic regression analysis identified Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (adjusted odds ratio, 1.93; 95% CI , 1.01–3.70; P =0.046) and initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (adjusted odds ratio, 0.85; 95% CI , 0.76–0.97; P =0.014) as independent predictors for good outcome. Patients with successful recanalization had a significant ( P =0.001) shift of mRS distribution with higher rates of good functional outcomes (23.8% [34 of 143] versus 14.9% [7 of 47] ) and lower mortality at 90‐days (46.8% [67 of 143] versus 55.3% [26 of 47] ). Conclusions Despite high mortality and less frequent favorable outcome, our data suggest that thrombectomy is still effective and safe for nonagenarians. Decision making for thrombectomy in patients aged ≥90 should be based on a case‐by‐case basis with regard to initial National Institute of Health Stroke Scale and Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score.

    Kurzfassung: Patients with a left (LHS) or right hemispheric stroke (RHS) differ in terms of clinical symptoms due to lateralization of specific cortical functions. Studies on functional outcome after stroke and endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) comparing both hemispheres showed conflicting results so far. The impact of stroke laterality on patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after EVT has not yet been adequately addressed and still remains unclear. Methods Consecutive stroke thrombectomy patients, derived from a multi-center, prospective registry (German Stroke Registry) between June 2015 and December 2019, were included in this study. At 90 days, outcome after EVT was assessed by the modified Rankin scale (mRS) and HRQoL using the European QoL-five dimensions questionnaire utility-index (EQ-5D-I; higher values indicate better HRQoL) in patients with LHS and RHS. Adjusted regression analysis was applied to evaluate the influence of stroke laterality on outcome after EVT. Results In total, 5683 patients were analyzed. Of these, 2953 patients (52.8%) had LHS and 2637 (47.2%) RHS. LHS patients had a higher baseline NIHSS (16 vs. 13, p  〈  0.001) and a higher ASPECTS (9 vs. 8, p  〈  0.001) compared to RHS patients. Among survivors, patients with LHS less frequently had a self-reported affected mobility (p = 0.037), suffered less often from pain (p = 0.04) and anxiety/depression (p = 0.032) three months after EVT. After adjusting for confounders (age, sex, baseline NIHSS), LHS was associated with a better HRQoL (ß coefficient 0.04, CI 95% 0.017–0.063; p = 0.001), and better functional outcome assessed by lower values on the mRS (ß coefficient − 0.109, CI 95% − 0.217–0.000; p = 0.049). Conclusions Ninety days after EVT, LHS patients have a better functional outcome and HRQoL. Patients with RHS should be actively assessed and treated for pain, anxiety and depression to improve their HRQoL after EVT.

    Kurzfassung: Only limited data are available about a potential benefit associated with endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with ischemic stroke presenting in the extended time window who also show signs of extensive infarction. Objective To assess the association of recanalization after EVT with functional outcomes for patients with ischemic stroke presenting in the extended time window who also show signs of extensive infarction. Design, Setting, and Participants This retrospective, multicenter cohort study included patients enrolled in the German Stroke Registry–Endovascular Treatment with an Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) of 5 or less who presented between 6 and 24 hours after stroke onset and underwent computed tomography and subsequent EVT between July 1, 2015, and December 31, 2019. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary end point was a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 3 or less at day 90. The association between recanalization (defined as the occurrence of a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 2b or 3) and outcome was assessed using logistic regression and inverse probability weighting analysis. Intervention Endovascular treatment. Results Of 5853 patients, 285 (5%; 146 men [51%]; median age, 73 years [IQR, 62-81 years] ) met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Of these 285 patients, 79 (27.7%) had an mRS score of 3 or less at day 90. The rate of successful recanalization was 75% (215 of 285) and was independently associated with a higher probability of reaching an mRS score of 3 or less (adjusted odds ratio, 4.39; 95% CI, 1.79-10.72; P   & amp;lt; .001). In inverse probability weighting analysis, a modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 2b or 3 was associated with a 19% increase (95% CI, 9%-29%; P   & amp;lt; .001) in the probability for an mRS score of 3 or more. Multivariable logistic regression analysis suggested a significant treatment benefit associated with vessel recanalization in a time window of up to 17.6 hours and ASPECTS of 3 to 5. The rate of secondary symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was 6.3% (18 of 285). Conclusions and Relevance In this cohort study reflecting daily clinical practice, vessel recanalization for patients with a low ASPECTS and extended time window was associated with better functional outcomes in a time window up to 17.6 hours and ASPECTS of 3 to 5. The results of this study encourage current randomized clinical trials to enroll patients with a low ASPECTS, even within the extended time window.

    Kurzfassung: Early neurological status has been described as predictor of functional outcome in patients with anterior circulation stroke after mechanical thrombectomy. It remains unclear to what proportion the improvement of functional outcome at day 90 is already apparent at 24 hours and at hospital discharge and how later factors impact outcome. Methods: All patients enrolled in the German Stroke Registry (June 2015–December 2019) with anterior circulation stroke and availability of baseline data and neurological status were included. A mediation analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of successful recanalization (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction scale score ≥2b) on good functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score ≤2 at day 90) with mediation through neurological status (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] at 24 hours and at hospital discharge). Results: Three thousand fifty-seven patients fulfilled the inclusion criteria, thereof 2589 (85%) with successful recanalization and 1180 (39%) with good functional outcome. In a multivariate logistic regression analysis, probability of good outcome was significantly associated with age (odds ratio [95% CI], 0.95 [0.94–0.96] ), prestroke modified Rankin Scale (0.48 [0.42–0.55]), admission-NIHSS (0.96 [0.94–0.98] ), 24-hour NIHSS (0.83 [0.81–0.84]), diabetes (0.56 [0.43–0.72] ), proximal middle cerebral artery occlusions (0.78 [0.62–0.97]), passes (0.88 [0.82–0.95] ), Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (1.07 [1.00–1.14]), successful recanalization (2.39 [1.68–3.43] ), intracerebral hemorrhage (0.51 [0.35–0.73]), and recurrent strokes (0.54 [0.32–0.92] ). Mediation analysis showed a 20 percentage points (95% CI‚ 17–24 percentage points) increase of probability of good functional outcome after successful recanalization. Fifty-four percent (95% CI‚ 44%–66%) of the improvement in functional outcome was explained by 24-hour NIHSS and 75% (95% CI‚ 62%–90%) by NIHSS at hospital discharge. Conclusions: Fifty-four percent of the improvement in functional outcome after successful recanalization is apparent in NIHSS at 24 hours, 75% in NIHSS at hospital discharge. Other unknown factors not apparent in NIHSS at the 2 time points investigated account for the remaining effect on long term outcome, suggesting, among others, clinical relevance of delayed neurological improvement and deterioration.

    Kurzfassung: Randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) have demonstrated the efficacy of endovascular treatment in anterior circulation large vessel occlusions. However, outcome of patients treated in daily practice differs from the results of the clinical trials. We hypothesize that this is attributable to the study criteria and that application of the criteria on patients undergoing endovascular therapy in daily routine would improve their outcome. Methods and Results Data from a multicenter prospective registry of GSR‐ET (German Stroke Registry – Endovascular Treatment) was used. Inclusion criteria and selectivity of SWIFT‐PRIME (Solitaire with the Intention for Thrombectomy as Primary Endovascular Treatment trial), MR CLEAN (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands trial), ESCAPE (Endovascular Treatment for Small Core and Anterior Circulation Proximal Occlusion with Emphasis on Minimizing CT to Recanalization Times trial), DAWN (DWI or CTP Assessment with Clinical Mismatch in the Triage of Wake‐Up and Late Presenting Strokes Undergoing Neurointervention with Trevo trial) and DEFUSE‐3 (Endovascular Therapy Following Imaging Evaluation for Ischemic Stroke trial) trials were analyzed. Baseline characteristics, procedural and outcome data of patients from GSR‐ET before and after selection were compared with the results of the RCTs. Furthermore, outcome of patients who underwent endovascular treatment despite not fulfilling the RCT criteria was analyzed. A total of 2611 patients were included (median age, 75 years; 49.6% women; median National Institute of Health Stroke Scale, 16). A minority of patients met all inclusion criteria, ranging from 3% (DEFUSE‐3 criteria) to 35% (MR CLEAN criteria). Of the patients fulfilling the MR CLEAN criteria, 41% of patients had a good clinical outcome, compared with 34% of patients that did not fulfill MR CLEAN criteria. Conclusions The RCTs represent a selected population with higher rates of good clinical outcome compared with daily practice. The good outcomes of RCTs can be reproduced in clinical routine in patients who fulfill the RCT inclusion criteria. Furthermore, patients who did not meet the criteria of the RCT still had substantial rates of good clinical outcome.

    Kurzfassung: The aim of this study was to analyze sex differences in outcome after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in clinical practice in a large prospective multicenter registry. Methods Data of consecutive stroke patients treated with thrombectomy (June 2015–April 2018) derived from an industry-independent registry (German Stroke Registry–Endovascular Treatment) were prospectively analyzed. Multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were applied to determine whether sex is a predictor of functional independence outcome (defined as a modified Rankin scale [mRS] 0–2) 90 days after stroke. Results In total, 2316 patients were included in the analysis, 1170 (50.5%) were female and 1146 (49.5%) were male. Women were older (median age 78 vs. 72 years; p   〈  0.001) and more frequently had a prestroke functional impairment defined by mRS 〉 1 (24.8% vs. 14.1%; p   〈  0.001). In unadjusted analyses, independent outcome at 90 days was less frequent in women (33.2%) than men (40.6%; p   〈  0.001). Likewise, mortality was higher in women than in men (30.7% vs. 26.4%; p  = 0.024). In adjusted regression analyses, however, sex was not associated with outcome. Lower age, a lower baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score, a higher Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score, prestroke functional independence, successful reperfusion, and concomitant intravenous thrombolysis therapy predicted independent outcome. Conclusion Women showed a worse functional outcome after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke in clinical practice; however, after adjustment for crucial confounders sex was not a predictor of outcome. The difference in outcome thus appears to result from differences in confounding factors such as age and prestroke functional status.

    Kurzfassung: Strokes in the working-age population represent a relevant share of ischemic strokes and re-employment is a major factor for well-being in these patients. Income differences by sex have been suspected a barrier for women in returning to paid work following ischemic stroke. We aim to identify predictors of (not) returning to paid work in patients with large vessel occlusion treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) to identify potential areas of targeted vocational rehabilitation. Methods: From 6635 patients enrolled in the German Stroke Registry Endovascular Treatment between 2015 and 2019, data of 606 patients of the working population who survived large vessel occlusion at least 90 days past MT were compared based on employment status at day 90 follow-up. Univariate analysis, multiple logistic regression and analyses of area under the curve were performed to identify predictors of re-employment. Results: We report 35.6% of patients being re-employed 3 months following MT (median age 54.0 years; 36.1% of men, 34.5% of women [ P =0.722]). We identified independent negative predictors against re-employment being female sex (odds ratio [OR] , 0.427 [95% CI, 0.229–0.794]; P =0.007), higher National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score 24 hours after MT (OR, 0.775 [95% CI, 0.705–0.852]; P 〈 0.001), large vessel occlusion due to large-artery atherosclerosis (OR, 0.558 [95% CI, 0.312–0.997]; P =0.049) and longer hospital stay (OR, 0.930 [95% CI, 0.868–0.998]; P =0.043). Positive predictors favoring re-employment were excellent functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of 0–1) at 90 day follow-up (OR, 11.335 [95% CI, 4.864–26.415] ; P 〈 0.001) and combined treatment with intravenous thrombolysis (OR, 1.904 [95% CI, 1.046–3.466]; P =0.035). Multiple regression modeling increased predictive power of re-employment status significantly over prediction by best single functional outcome parameter (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale 24 hours after MT ≤5; R 2 : 0.582 versus 0.432; area under the receiver operating characteristic curve: 0.887 versus 0.835, P 〈 0.001). Conclusions: There is more to re-employment after MT than functional outcome alone. In particular, attention should be paid to possible systemic barriers deterring women from resuming paid work.

    Kurzfassung: This study evaluates the benefit of endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with extensive baseline stroke compared with best medical treatment. Methods: This retrospective, multicenter study compares EVT and best medical treatment for computed tomography (CT)–based selection of patients with extensive baseline infarcts (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score ≤5) attributed to anterior circulation stroke. Patients were selected from the German Stroke Registry and 3 tertiary stroke centers. Primary functional end points were rates of good (modified Rankin Scale score of ≤3) and very poor outcome (modified Rankin Scale score of ≥5) at 90 days. Secondary safety end point was the occurrence of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Angiographic outcome was evaluated with the modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale. Results: After 1:1 pair matching, a total of 248 patients were compared by treatment arm. Good functional outcome was observed in 27.4% in the EVT group, and in 25% in the best medical treatment group ( P =0.665). Advanced age (adjusted odds ratio, 1.08 [95% CI, 1.05–1.10], P 〈 0.001) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (adjusted odds ratio, 6.35 [95% CI, 2.08–19.35], P 〈 0.001) were independently associated with very poor outcome. Mortality (43.5% versus 28.9%, P =0.025) and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (16.1% versus 5.6%, P =0.008) were significantly higher in the EVT group. The lowest rates of good functional outcome (≈15%) were observed in groups of failed and partial recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 0/1–2a), whereas patients with complete recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction Scale score of 3) with recanalization attempts ≤2 benefitted the most (modified Rankin Scale score of ≤3:42.3%, P =0.074) compared with best medical treatment. Conclusions: In daily clinical practice, EVT for CT–based selected patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score anterior circulation stroke may not be beneficial and is associated with increased risk for hemorrhage and mortality, especially in the elderly. However, first- or second-pass complete recanalization seems to reveal a clinical benefit of EVT highlighting the vulnerability of the low Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score subgroup.

    Kurzfassung: Recently, 3 randomized controlled trials provided high-level evidence that patients with large ischemic stroke achieved better functional outcomes after endovascular therapy than with medical care alone. We aimed to investigate whether the clinical benefit of endovascular therapy is associated with the number of recanalization attempts in extensive baseline infarction. METHODS: This retrospective multicenter study enrolled patients from the German Stroke Registry who underwent endovascular therapy for anterior circulation large vessel occlusion between 2015 and 2021. Large ischemic stroke was defined as an Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score of 3 to 5. The study cohort was divided into patients with unsuccessful reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, 0–2a) and successful reperfusion (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, 2b/3) at attempts 1, 2, 3, or ≥4. The primary outcome was favorable functional outcome defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 3 at 90 days. Safety outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage after 24 hours and death within 90 days. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent determinants of primary and secondary outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 348 patients met the inclusion criteria. Successful reperfusion was observed in 83.3% and favorable functional outcomes in 36.2%. Successful reperfusion at attempts 1 (adjusted odds ratio, 5.97 [95% CI, 1.71–24.43]; P =0.008) and 2 (adjusted odds ratio, 6.32 [95% CI, 1.73–26.92]; P =0.008) increased the odds of favorable functional outcome, whereas success at attempts 3 or ≥4 did not. Patients with 〉 2 attempts showed higher rates of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (12.8% versus 6.5%; P =0.046). Successful reperfusion at any attempt lowered the odds of death compared with unsuccessful reperfusion. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with large vessel occlusion and Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score of 3 to 5, the clinical benefit of endovascular therapy was linked to the number of recanalization attempts required for successful reperfusion. Our findings encourage to perform at least 2 recanalization attempts to seek for successful reperfusion in large ischemic strokes, while 〉 2 attempts should follow a careful risk-benefit assessment in these highly affected patients.
