Abstract

Introduction Real-world data showed that less than half of the acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) presenting with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) (2–5) achieved favorable outcomes at 90 days after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). In this study, we aim to investigate the relationship between the number of MT passes at which successful recanalization is obtained and outcomes in LVO-related AIS patients with low ASPECTS.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study was performed on the data from 31 thrombectomy-capable centers between 2013 to 2022. Successful recanalization was defined as modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia Score ≥ 2b. The primary outcome was a 90-day modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0–3. Secondary outcomes were symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage and intracranial hemorrhage within 24 hours and mortality at 90 days. Outcomes were compared among patients with unsuccessful recanalization, successful recanalization at first, second, third, and more than four passes.Results A total of 297 patients with a median age of 70 [IQR 59–78] years were included and 140 (47.1%) were female. In 239 (80.4%) patients, successful recanalization was achieved: 88 patients (29.6%) with 1 pass, 59 patients (19.9%) with 2 passes, 35 (11.8%) patients with 3 passes (11.8%), and 57 patients (19.2%) with more than 4 passes. Compared to unsuccessful recanalization, successful recanalization at first pass (adjusted OR 5.25, 95% CI 1.78 - 17.1), second passes (adjusted OR 5.20, 95% CI 1.68 - 17.6), and passes 4 (adjusted OR 4.90, 95% CI 1.68 - 17.6) was related to 90-day mRS 0–3. Recanalization status and MT attempt number were not related to secondary outcomes except for 90-day mortality. Compared to unsuccessful recanalization, successful recanalization at second and third passes were inversely related to 90-day mortality (adjusted OR 0.37, 95% CI 0.14 - 0.93; adjusted OR 0.33, 95% CI 0.11 - 0.95, respectively). Conclusion The present results indicated that successful recanalization was related to 90-day good outcome regardless the number of MT passes but the odds of achieving favorable outcome declined with each pass.
