Abstract:
Objective To preliminarily discuss the effect of thrombectomy with the TREVO device in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods Six patients with acute ischemic stroke treated with TREVO device at the Department of Neurointervention,Beijing Fengtai You′anmen Hospital from April to June 2016 were analyzed retrospectively,including 2 patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA)occlusion (time window from 2. 7 to 5. 5 h),4 with basilar artery occlusion (time window from 4. 0 to 7. 0 h). The effect of thrombectomy was evaluated by the modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI ) scores. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)scores were used to evaluate the neurological status of patients before and after treatment. The prognosis was evaluated by the modified Rankin scale. Results (1 )After 1 to 2 embolectomies,the occlusive arteries of 5 patients achieved recanalization (mTICI gradeⅡb-Ⅲ;posterior circulation in 4 cases,MCA in 1 case). (2)Compared with at admission,the NIHSS score in 1 of 2 patients with MCA occlusion was reduced by 8 points at discharge,and 1 was not any improvement;compared with at admission,the NIHSS scores in 3 of 4 patients with basilar artery occlusion were decreased by 8-26 points at discharge,and 1 was not any improvement;in 2 patients with MCA occlusion,the modified Rankin scale scores were 0 to 1 at 3 months after discharge (0 in 1 case,4 in 1 case);the Rankin scale scores in 4 patients with basilar artery occlusion at 3 months after discharge were 0 in 1 case,1 in 2 cases,and 5 in 1 case.Conclusion The preliminary experience of using TREVO device embolectomy for patients with acute ischemic stroke shows that it is more safe and effective.
