Five-Year Outcomes After Endovascular Treatment for Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke.

Background: The long-term outcomes of acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) in anterior circulation treated by endovascular treatment (EVT) remains to be determined. The aim of this study was to assess the 5-year outcomes of patients with LVO who underwent EVT.

Methods: This study was an observational, nationwide registry of consecutive patients with acute LVO who received EVT in 28 comprehensive stroke centers in China.

Assessment of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion via a Nationwide Prospective Registry.

Importance: Several randomized clinical trials have recently established the safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) of acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation. However, it remains uncertain whether patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) benefit from EVT.

Objective: To evaluate the association between EVT and clinical outcomes of patients with acute BAO.

Impact of Relative Blood Glucose Changes on Mortality Risk of Patient with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Treated with Mechanical Thrombectomy.

Background And Purpose: The impacts of stress hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia on mortality of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) are largely unclear. This study aimed to use stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) to evaluate the influence of pretreatment relative blood glucose changes on mortality risk after MT.

Methods: The study retrospectively enrolled 321 acute ischemic stroke patients treated with MT.

Combination of 24-Hour and 7-Day Relative Neurological Improvement Strongly Predicts 90-Day Functional Outcome of Endovascular Stroke Therapy.

Background And Purpose: Early judgment of long-term prognosis is the key to making medical decisions in acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion stroke (LVOS) after endovascular treatment (EVT). We aimed to investigate the relationship between the combination of 24-hour and 7-day relative neurological improvement (RNI) and 90-day functional outcome.

Methods: We selected the target population from a multicenter ischemic stroke registry.

Clinical Effectiveness and Safety Outcomes of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke in China.

Backgrounds And Purpose: This study was aimed at investigating the outcomes and predictors for the poor functional outcome after endovascular treatment (EVT) in a large, mostly Asian population.

Methods: Between January 2014 and June 2016, acute stroke patients with anterior circulation occlusion and EVT were retrospectively enrolled from 21 stroke centers in China. The main outcomes were modified Rankin Scale (0-2 as functional independence, 3-6 as poor) at 90 days, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) at 72 h, and death at 90 days.
