Article Synopsis
- Researchers aimed to create and validate a prediction score for futile recanalization (FR) in patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Scores (ASPECTS) who underwent endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for large vessel occlusions (LVO).
- The study analyzed data from 219 patients with anterior circulation LVO and identified key predictors of FR, resulting in the development of the SNAP score, which considers factors like the site of occlusion and patient age.
- The SNAP score successfully predicted FR with an area under the curve of 0.79 in both training and validation cohorts, indicating its potential usefulness for guiding expectations in patients undergoing EVT for severe strokes.
Background: A higher number of recanalization attempts reduces the efficacy of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke secondary to large vessel occlusion (LVO). We assessed the impact of switching EVT techniques after a failed first pass on procedural and clinical outcomes.
Methods: This multicenter international study, conducted between January 2013 and December 2022, included patients undergoing EVT for anterior circulation LVO (internal carotid artery or M1 segments) with failed first pass recanalization.
Background And Objectives: This study aimed to compare outcomes of low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) patients with stroke who underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) within 6 hours or 6 to 24 hours after stroke onset.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from a large multicenter international registry from 2013 to 2023. Patients with low ASPECTS (2-5) who underwent MT for anterior circulation intracranial large vessel occlusion were included.
Background: The benefit of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is well established. We aim to study the benefits of IVT in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO) who underwent unsuccessful mechanical thrombectomy (MT).
Methods: We included AIS patients who underwent MT for anterior circulation LVO with failed recanalization (modified treatment in cerebral ischemia [mTICI] score ≤ 2A).
Comparison of combined intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis with intravenous thrombolysis alone in stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy: a propensity-matched analysis.

Background: A combination of intravenous (IVT) or intra-arterial (IAT) thrombolysis with mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (AIS-LVO) has been investigated. However, there is limited data on patients who receive both IVT and IAT compared with IVT alone before MT.
Methods: STAR data from 2013 to 2023 was utilized.
