Abstract

Carotid angioplasty and stenting is a minimally invasive endovascular procedure that may benefit from in vivo high resolution imaging for monitoring the physical placement of the stent and potential complications. The purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the ability of optical coherence tomography to construct high resolution 2D and 3D images of stenting in porcine carotid artery. Four Yorkshire pigs were anaesthetized and catheterized. A state-of-the-art optical coherence tomography (OCT) system and an automated injector were used to obtain both healthy and stented porcine carotid artery images. Data obtained were then processed for visualization. The state-of-the-art OCT system was able to capture high resolution images of both healthy and stented carotid arteries. High quality 3D images of healthy and stented carotid arteries were constructed, clearly depicting vessel wall morphological features, stent apposition and thrombus formation over the inserted stent. The results demonstrate that OCT can be used to generate high quality 3D images of carotid arterial stents for accurate diagnosis of stent apposition and complications under appropriate imaging conditions

Abstract

Among patients with a proximal vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation, 60 to 80% of patients die within 90 days after stroke onset or do not regain functional independence despite alteplase treatment. We evaluated rapid endovascular treatment in addition to standard care in patients with acute ischemic stroke with a small infarct core, a proximal intracranial arterial occlusion, and moderate-to-good collateral circulation. Methods We randomly assigned participants to receive standard care (control group) or standard care plus endovascular treatment with the use of available thrombectomy devices (intervention group). Patients with a proximal intracranial occlusion in the anterior circulation were included up to 12 hours after symptom onset. Patients with a large infarct core or poor collateral circulation on computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography were excluded. Workflow times were measured against predetermined targets. The primary outcome was the score on the modified Rankin scale (range, 0 [no symptoms] to 6 [death]) at 90 days. A proportional odds model was used to calculate the common odds ratio as a measure of the likelihood that the intervention would lead to lower scores on the modified Rankin scale than would control care (shift analysis). Results The trial was stopped early because of efficacy. At 22 centers worldwide, 316 participants were enrolled, of whom 238 received intravenous alteplase (120 in the intervention group and 118 in the control group). In the intervention group, the median time from study CT of the head to first reperfusion was 84 minutes. The rate of functional independence (90-day modified Rankin score of 0 to 2) was increased with the intervention (53.0%, vs. 29.3% in the control group; P

Abstract

Background and Purpose: The goal of reperfusion therapy in acute ischemic stroke is to limit the extension of the ischemic core. The objectives of the present study were to assess the relationship between endovascular treatment and final infarct volume. Methods and Results: ESCAPE is a multicenter prospective randomized open-label trial with blinded outcome evaluation that enrolled 315 patients (endovascular treatment n=165; control n=150). Of these, 314 patient infarct volumes at 24 hours on CT or MRI were measured blinded to clinical data. Because infarct volumes were non-normally distributed, final infarct volumes were analysed by quartiles. Final infarct volumes were compared by treatment assignment and recanalization/reperfusion status measured by 2-8h CT angiogram in the control group and by formal angiography in the intervention arm. Results: Median final infarct volume among all study participants was 21 mL (IQR: 7 to 72). Median final infarct volume in endovascular treatment arm at 15.5 mL (IQR: 5 to 46.5) was significantly lower than median final infarct volume in control arm 33.5 mL (IQR: 11 to 95; P=0.0004). Small infarcts, defined as 1st quartile of infarct volumes were more common in the endovascular group compared to control (relative risk [RR] 1.5, CI95 1.02-2.3). Successful recanalization and reperfusion was highly associated with small infarcts (RR 2.2, CI95 1.4-3.4). The proportion of large hemispheric stroke (defined as an infarct volume in the 4th quartile) was much less frequent in the endovascular treatment arm (RR 0.6, CI95 0.3-0.8). Conclusions: This analysis supports the primary results of ESCAPE trial as endovascular treatment was associated with significantly smaller final infarct volumes. Recanalization/reperfusion was associated with smaller final infarct volume.
