Endovascular therapy is strongly recommended for acute cerebral large vessel occlusion (LVO) with an Alberta stroke program early computed tomography score (ASPECTS) ≥6 due to occlusion of the internal carotid artery or M1 segment of the middle cerebral artery. However, the effect of endovascular therapy for patients with a large ischemic core with an ASPECTS ≤5 (0–5) was not established. A multicenter, randomized, open-label, parallel-group trial was conducted to investigate the superiority of endovascular therapy over medical therapy without endovascular therapy for a large ischemic core with ASPECTS (3–5). Patients were randomly assigned to receive endovascular therapy or without endovascular therapy at a ratio of 1:1. The primary outcome was a moderate functional outcome, defined as a modified Rankin scale (mRS; scores ranging from 0 [no symptoms] to 6 [death]) ≤3 after 90 days. The secondary outcomes were defined as ordinal mRS, good functional outcome (mRS ≤2), excellent functional outcome (mRS ≤1), mRS shift analysis after 90 days, and early improvement of neurological findings at 48 hours. A total sample size of 200 was estimated to provide a power of 0.9 with a two-sided alpha of 0.05, for the primary outcome, considering a 15% dropout rate. This randomized clinical trial reported the applicability of endovascular therapy in patients with acute cerebral LVO with a large ischemic core.

Endovascular therapy (EVT) for real-world patients after extended time frames is associated with concerns about its efficacy and safety. We conducted a prospective registry at 77 centers between November 2019 and October 2020. The registry criteria included patients treated with Trevo Retriever alone or in combined therapy with an aspiration catheter. The primary outcome was effective reperfusion (thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade ≥ 2b), the secondary outcome was a modified Rankin scale 0-2 at 90 days, and the safety outcomes were worsening of neurologic symptoms within 24 h postoperatively, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) within 24 h after EVT and mortality. We also exlpored the difference between patients whose last known well time (LKWT) to a puncture was less than 6 h (0-6 h) and those whose LKWT was 6 h or more but less than 24 h (6-24 h). Among the 1041 patients registered, 1025 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 76.9 years, and 53.6% of the participants were males. The 6-24 h group was 206/998 (20.6%), the median National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at admission was 18, and the median Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score was 8. Combined technique as the first pass was used on 817 (79.7%) patients. The primary outcome was 934 (91.1%). The secondary outcome was 433/1021 (42.4%). Symptomatic ICH, any ICH, and mortality were 10/1019 (1.0%), 311/1019 (30.5%), and 75 (7.3%). In the subanalysis, the 6-24 h group was lower in NIHSS (median;18 vs 16), and the secondary outcome was not significantly different in the <6 h group. Even after treatment time expansion, this result was comparable to other Trevo-based trials and nationwide registries.
