Intervention in Stroke - 2014
• Rationale
• Good outcome – what have we learned
• Current technique - 2014
• Future evolution
• Data, trials – past and on-going
![Page 3: Interventions in Acute Ischaemic Stroke](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55a736501a28abc4528b4656/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Issues with IV tPA
• Time factor
• Large vessel disease
• Time to recanalize
• C.I. – anti-coagulants, recent surgery, wake-up strokes….
Less than 10% patients are eligible

•Distal MCA – 44%
•Proximal MCA - 30%
•Terminal ICA - 6%
•Tandem cervical ICA/MCA -27%
•Basilar artery- 30%
Prerecombinant tissue plasminogen activator, National Institutes of
Health Stroke Scale score, systolic blood pressure, glucose, and
Thrombolysis in Brain Ischemia flow grade at the occlusion site were
the negative independent predictors for complete recanalization in the
final model.

• 53 studies, 2066 patients
• Sp.- 24%, IV tPA- 46%, IA- 64%, Mechanical- 84%
• Good outcome more in recanalized patients (OR- 4.4)
• Less mortality in recanalized patients

•The Interventional
Management of Stroke
pilot trials tested
combined IV/IA therapy
onset.
•Among the 54
cases, only time to
angiographic reperfusion
and age independently
predicted good clinical
outcome after
angiographic
reperfusion.

Intra-arterial recanalization
• Major vessel occlusion- IV-tPA given- but not effective- bridging
• IV-tPA not possible-( >4.5 hrs, wake-up strokes, anti-coagulants, recent surgery etc. ) (and MVO)
![Page 10: Interventions in Acute Ischaemic Stroke](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55a736501a28abc4528b4656/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Good outcome in IAT - 2014
• Viable tissue – Penumbra
• TICI IIb/IIIa
• Time…time…time
Expertise, team, system…

Imaging approaches for case selection
• NCCT (ASPECTS)- NIHSS
• NCCT & CTA, CTA-SI
• NCCT, CTA & CTP
• MRI-DWI, (MRA, PWI)
What information is needed?
• Bleed
• Infarct core – is critical 70-100 ml
• Major vessel occlusion
• Tissue at risk- penumbra
Time, imaging interpretation, unstable patients
![Page 12: Interventions in Acute Ischaemic Stroke](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042716/55a736501a28abc4528b4656/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Hemorrhage
# NCCT- excluding hemorrhage is necessary and sufficient for IV –tPA
# MR- quite good, expert interpretation
• Major vessel occlusion
# CTA better & quicker than MRA for MVO
# Can be obtained without slowing IV thrombolysis.
• Core
# Most accurate - DWI.
# NCCT – least
# CT A- SI- better than NCCT
# CT perfusion- CBF, CBV, MTT – better

• Calcified old clots
• MCA bifurcation/trifurcation clots
• I/C stenosis – more in Asian
• Balloon catheter – smaller tortuous arteries

Issues
• 21 sites- 8-years- 127 patients
• Revascularization in 67%, seventeen procedural complications
• Mostly used MERCI device- first generation;
• Trial completed over 8-years !!!
Time to groin puncture was 6 hrs 21 min !!!
Imaging to puncture- 2hrs 4min !!!

• EXTEND- IA (Australia)
• POSITIVE trial (US)
• EASI trial (Canadian)
• EASY trial (France)
• PISTE (UK)

Where do we stand?
• Stent -retrievers – 80-90% recanalization (?70%)
• Time in < 1-hr
• Additional to t-PA
• Case selection (Penumbra imaging) & speed are crucial-“futile recanalizations”
• Further refinement of technique likely
• EXPERTISE, TEAM, SYSTEM….a challenge
• Results of randomized trials
• Need to do in monitored environment
