Abstract

Background and purpose In acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients, a diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) is correlated with infarct volume and is an independent factor of functional outcomes. Patients with pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS ≤6 were excluded or underrepresented in the recent randomized endovascular therapy (EVT) trials. Our aim was to assess the impact of recanalization in patients with pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS ≤6 treated with EVT.

Methods We analyzed data collected between January 2012 and August 2015 in 2 prospective clinical registries of AIS patients treated with EVT. Every patient with a documented internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery occlusion with pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS ≤6 was eligible for this study. The primary outcome was a favorable outcome defined by a modified Rankin Scale of 0 to 2 at 90 days.

Results Two hundred eighteen patients were included. Among them, 145 (66%) had a good recanalization (TICI ≥ 2 b) at the end of EVT. There was no statistically difference in the baseline clinical characteristics between recanalised and non-recanalised patients. Recanalized patients had an increased rate of favorable outcomes (38.7% vs 17.4%, p = 0.002) and a decreased rate of mortality at 3 months (22.5% vs 39.1%, p = 0.013) compared with non-recanalised patients. The symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rate was not different in the 2 groups (13% vs 14.1%, p = 0.83).

Conclusion Patients with a pretreatment DWI-ASPECTS ≤6 may still benefit of EVT when a good recanalization is achieved. In particular, EVT-induced recanalization was associated with a reduced rate of mortality without increased risk of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
