Abstract

Abstract only Introduction: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients often require multiple passes during mechanical thrombectomy (MT) to open the vessel. Yet, at times, even numerous passes are unsuccessful. This study aims to investigate the impact of the number of passes on the outcomes of patients who underwent failed MT. Methods: We used Data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) from 2013 to August 2023. Patients who underwent MT for ICA, M1, or M2 with unsuccessful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction ≤ 2a) were included. Primary outcome was 90- day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2. Secondary outcomes included any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) and symptomatic ICH (sICH). Outcomes were compared among patients who received ≤ 2, 3, 4, and ≥ 5 MT passes. Results: 736 patients met inclusion criteria. 90-day mRS 0-2 was found to decrease with number of passes (Figure 1). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that 3 passes (OR: 0.48, 95% CI: 0.23 -0.96, P-value: 0.04), 4 passes (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.19 -1.03, P-value: 0.07), and ≥ 5 passes (OR: 0.22, 95% CI: 0.08 -0.50, P-value: <0.001) were associated with lower odds of mRS 0-2 compared to ≤ 2 passes. However, there were no significant differences between groups in ICH, sICH, or 90-day mortality. Conclusion: The number of passes affects functional outcomes among stroke patients who underwent failed MT.
