Abstract:
Objective:To compare the effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis(IVT)alone versus mechanical thrombectomy(MT)in treating acute large vessel occlusive stroke(AIS-LVO).Amd to analyze the factors that are associated with the prognosis of MT.Methods:A total of 197 patients with acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO)who received intravenous thrombolysis(IVT)and/or mechanical thrombectomy(MT)at the Stroke Center of the Second Hospital of Dalian Medical University from April 2016 to July 2021 were included in this retrospective analysis.Baseline data, clinical data, and 90-day Modified Rankin Scale(mRS)scores were collected for each group.The efficacy and risk of IVT alone and MT were compared using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Additionally, factors influencing the prognosis of MT were identified.Results:A total of 197 patients who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study.Out of these, 62 patients were in the IVT alone group and 135 patients were in the MT group.The results of the univariate analysis showed that the MT group had lower admission systolic blood pressure(147±23 vs.158±27 mmHg, P=0.003), higher baseline NIHSS score[15(12, 19) vs.12(8, 16), P=0.003], and there were also differences in vascular occlusion between the two groups( χ2=15.504, P=0.004).Specifically, the middle cerebral artery and basilar artery occlusion were higher in the MT group.In terms of outcome, the MT group had a higher percentage of good outcomes at 90 days[53(39%) vs.13(21%), χ2=6.381, P=0.012], and there was no significant difference in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH)and mortality within 90 days.Among the 135 patients who underwent MT, 53 patients were classified as having a good prognosis, while 82 patients were classified as having a poor prognosis.Multivariate analysis revealed that age( OR=1.078, 95% CI: 1.025-1.133, P=0.003), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio(NLR)( OR=1.164, 95% CI: 1.013-1.338, P=0.032), time from onset to recanalization( OR=1.004, 95% CI: 1.000-1.007, P=0.049), sICH( OR=15.585, 95% CI: 1.397-173.865, P=0.026), ASPECTS/pc-ASPECTS score( OR=0.524, 95% CI: 0.017-0.582, P=0.024), and good recanalization( OR=0.099, 95% CI: 1.718-59.046, P=0.010)were identified as independent prognostic factors.The results indicate that percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, stent implantation, and the use of tirofiban and butylphthalide did not significantly affect the prognosis of the MT group. Conclusions:The use of mechanical thrombectomy(MT)in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO)is more effective than intravenous thrombolysis(IVT)alone and has a similar safety profile.However, there are certain factors that can influence the prognosis of MT treatment.Older age, higher neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio(NLR), longer time from symptom onset to recanalization, and the occurrence of postoperative symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage(sICH)were identified as independent predictors of poor prognosis in MT treatment.On the other hand, a higher ASPECTS/pc-ASPECTS score and successful recanalization were found to be protective factors associated with a favorable prognosis in MT treatment.
