Abstract

Background The effect of endovascular therapy (EVT) on the outcome of stroke patients with a medium distal vessel occlusion (MDVO) is unclear. We report the results of MDVO patients treated with the 3 mm Trevo stent retriever (SR) and/or the AXS Catalyst 5 distal access catheter.

Methods Data was derived from a prospective, multicenter global registry which enrolled patients treated with operator preferred EVT technique at 71 hospitals from January 2019 to January 2022. Three techniques were assessed: SR classic, direct aspiration, and a primary combined approach. Additional inclusion criteria were (a) EVT performed with the 3 mm Trevo SR and/or AXS Catalyst 5 distal access catheter on the first pass and (b) an occlusion of the M2 segment or M3 segment of the middle cerebral artery or the A1, A2 or A3 segment of the anterior cerebral artery. The primary outcome was achieving an expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (eTICI) score of 2c or 3 on the first pass, with the primary technique as adjudicated by core lab. The primary clinical outcome measure was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0–2.

Results A total of 155 patients (10.3% of the Registry population) were included. Most patients had an M2 occlusion (93.5%). First pass eTICI reperfusion was achieved in 43.1% of the patients. No modifying effect of the frontline technique was found. The rate of mRS 0 – 2 (overall 65%) did also not differ between groups.

Conclusion The data suggests that the Trevo 3 mm SR and/or the AXS Catalyst 5 are safe and effective devices for performing EVT of M2 occlusions. Further improvements are needed regarding materials and techniques to improve reperfusion results in this patient cohort in the future.
