Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of multimodal endovascular therapy for acute ischemic stroke in elderly patients.Methods:A total of 263 elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke were enrolled as research subjects from January 2017 to December 2018.Patients were divided into two groups: the intravenous thrombolytic therapy group and the endovascular therapy group.Treatment outcomes were compared by using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)and the modified Rankin Scale(mRS).Results:Of 263 patients, 125 were in the intravenous thrombolytic therapy group and 138 were in the intravascular therapy group.The rate of good/excellent outcomes was higher in the endovascular treatment group than in the intravenous thrombolytic therapy group(97.8% vs.91.2%, χ2=5.713, P<0.05). The NIHSS score and mRS score were lower in the endovascular treatment group than the in intravenous thrombolytic therapy group[(2.3±0.3) vs.(6.0±1.8), (1.1±0.1) vs.(2.3±0.3), t=9.067 and 16.970, P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(8.6% vs.8.0%, χ2=0.041, P>0.05). Conclusions:Multimodal mechanical thrombus retrieval is a safe and effective treatment for intracranial large vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke patients and should be recommended and promoted.
