Abstract
Aim. Mechanical thrombectomy is standard of care for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The objective of this study is to analyze the results of our own experience of endovascular treatment in Federal State Budgetary Institution “Research Institute for Complex Issues of Cardiovascular Diseases” Kemerovo.
Methods. 12 patients with AIS and underwent mechanical thrombectomy with «Trevo» stent-retriever were included in this analysis. Primary outcomes included 90-day modified Rankin scale (mRS) score, first pass effect (FPE) and recanalization rate (TICI score), the combined incidence of postintervention hemorrhages and mortality at 90 days.
Results. Among 12 patients (66.7% male, age 59.5 [57.5; 66.5] years) hypertension were in 100%, 61.5% had an ischemic heart disease, 53.8% was current smoking and atrial fibrillation. Median of the NIHSS scale was 13 points, mRS≥4 was in 75% of patients. In 33.3% was a tandem lesion (internal carotid artery terminus and middle cerebral artery) and 25% required stenting of the carotid artery. Good clinical outcomes (mRS≤2 at 90 days) were achieved in 77.8% (7/9) among surviving patients. The 90-day NIHSS score – 4 [1; 5]. The first pass effect and recanalization rate (TICI Scores 2b-3/3) was achieved in 50% and 91.7% of patients. The combined incidence of postintervention hemorrhages and mortality at 90 days was 33.3% and 25% respectively.
Conclusion. Despite the small sample size, stent retriever mechanical thrombectomy in AIS provides satisfactory clinical results.
