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.

To improve the success of mechanical thrombectomy, three-dimensional turbo spin-echo (3D-TSE) sequences on T2WI can be employed to estimate the vascular structure of the posterior circulation. In addition to the short imaging time of 3D-TSE T2WI (33 sec), it can visualize the outer diameter of the main cerebral artery, including the occluded vessels. However, to date, the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in the posterior circulation remains unclear, and safer and more efficient mechanical thrombectomy procedures are required. Assessment of the anatomical variations in the posterior circulation using 3D-TSE T2WI is valuable for access decisions, device selection, and safe device guidance and retrieval techniques to the target vessel. Herein, we present representative cases of basilar artery and posterior cerebral artery occlusions in our institute and describe the utility of preoperative 3D-TSE T2WI in these patients.

Objective: Antiplatelet therapy is essential in neuroendovascular therapy to avoid periprocedural thromboembolic events. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the relationship between platelet aggregation analysis by VerifyNow assay system (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA, USA) and thromboembolic complications.Methods: Seventy-two neuroendovascular procedures were performed between March 2013 and February 2015 in this institution. There were 41 males (56.9%) and their mean age was 69.9 years. Meanwhile, there were 31 females (43.0%) and their mean age was 62.7 years. In all cases, clopidogrel (CLP) was used as one of the periprocedural antiplatelet therapy. All patients were measured CLP response as P2Y12 Reaction Units (PRU) value using VerifyNow assay system (Accumetrics, San Diego, CA, USA) with the whole blood sample collected from the long sheath located at the femoral artery. All patients received diffusion-weighted image (DWI) on MRI at 1–4 days after the procedure. The occurrence of thromboembolic events was recorded and the relationship between CLP response and DWI hyper-intensity area (HIA) positive was analyzed. Appropriate cut-off value to predict thromboembolic events was examined. Results: Symptomatic thromboembolic complications occured in three patients (4.1%), and each PRU value was all over 226. CLP hypo-responder in our study recognized 46 patients (63.8%) as cut-off PRU value set 208. As the result of cut-off value defined as CLP hypo-responder, with regard to PRU more than 208, a significant difference appear in DWI HIA positive or negative, but with regard to PRU more than 230, a significant difference is not recognized.Conclusion: In our study, CLP response measured by VerifyNow assay system is well correlated with the periprocedural thromboembolic events in neuroendovascular procedure. The cut-off value of PRU in neuroendovascular therapy is not still defined, but CLP hypo-responder defined PRU value more than 208 might be meaningful in neuroendovascular therapy performed to Japanese. We should make the custom-made periprocedural anti-platelet therapy according to personal response.
