Effect of distal access catheter tip position on angiographic and clinical outcomes following thrombectomy using the combined stent-retriever and aspiration approach.

<h4>Purpose</h4>Mechanical thrombectomy using the stent-retriever in conjunction with the distal access catheter may improve the rates of successful revascularization and clinical outcomes in patients with acute stroke. We aimed to compare two different thrombectomy techniques, according...

We aimed to compare two different thrombectomy techniques, according to the position of the distal access catheter tip in the combined stent-retriever and aspiration approach.<h4>Methods</h4>In this retrospective study, patients with middle cerebral artery occlusion treated with the combined technique were divided into two groups based on the tip position of the distal access catheter: distal group (catheter placed adjacent to the thrombus) and proximal group (catheter placed in the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery below the ophthalmic artery). Baseline characteristics, angiographic results, and clinical outcomes were compared.<h4>Results</h4>Eighty-three patients (distal group, n = 45; proximal group, n = 38) were included. Higher complete reperfusion was observed in the distal group (unweighted analysis: 66.7% vs. 42.1%, p = 0.025; weighted analysis: 74.0% vs. 28.8%; p = 0.002). In the multivariate analysis, the distal tip position was independently associated with complete reperfusion (unweighted analysis: aOR, 4.10; 95% CI, 1.40-11.98; p = 0.01; weighted analysis: aOR, 5.20; 95% CI, 1.72-15.78; p = 0.004). The distal group also showed more favorable clinical outcomes and early neurological improvement (unweighted analysis: 62.2% vs. 55.3%; p = 0.521, 60% vs. 50%; p = 0.361, respectively; weighted analysis: 62.7% vs. 61.1%; p = 0.877, 66% vs. 45.7%; p = 0.062, respectively). However, more arterial dissections were observed in the distal group (8.9%, n = 4 vs. 2.6%, n = 1; p = 0.36). In the distal group, one patient with vascular injury died due to complications. No cases of emboli in new territory were observed.<h4>Conclusions</h4>Distal tip position of the distal access catheter has a significant impact on reperfusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, there was also a higher rate of vascular injury as the catheter was advanced further. If advancement to the target lesion is too difficult, placing it in the cavernous internal carotid artery may be a viable method without complications.Sang Hun BaekSanghyeon KimMyongjin KangJae-Hyung ChoiHee Jin KwonDong Won KimPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 6, p e0252641 (2021)
