The effect of endovascular thrombectomy that is performed more than 6 hours after the onset of ischemic stroke is uncertain. Patients with a clinical deficit that is disproportionately severe relative to the infarct volume may benefit from late thrombectomy.
We enrolled patients with occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery or proximal middle cerebral artery who had last been known to be well 6 to 24 hours earlier and who had a mismatch between the severity of the clinical deficit and the infarct volume, with mismatch criteria defined according to age (<80 years or ≥80 years). Patients were randomly assigned to thrombectomy plus standard care (the thrombectomy group) or to standard care alone (the control group). The coprimary end points were the mean score for disability on the utility-weighted modified Rankin scale (which ranges from 0 [death] to 10 [no symptoms or disability]) and the rate of functional independence (a score of 0, 1, or 2 on the modified Rankin scale, which ranges from 0 to 6, with higher scores indicating more severe disability) at 90 days.
A total of 206 patients were enrolled; 107 were assigned to the thrombectomy group and 99 to the control group. At 31 months, enrollment in the trial was stopped because of the results of a prespecified interim analysis. The mean score on the utility-weighted modified Rankin scale at 90 days was 5.5 in the thrombectomy group as compared with 3.4 in the control group (adjusted difference [Bayesian analysis], 2.0 points; 95% credible interval, 1.1 to 3.0; posterior probability of superiority, >0.999), and the rate of functional independence at 90 days was 49% in the thrombectomy group as compared with 13% in the control group (adjusted difference, 33 percentage points; 95% credible interval, 24 to 44; posterior probability of superiority, >0.999). The rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage did not differ significantly between the two groups (6% in the thrombectomy group and 3% in the control group, P=0.50), nor did 90-day mortality (19% and 18%, respectively; P=1.00).
Among patients with acute stroke who had last been known to be well 6 to 24 hours earlier and who had a mismatch between clinical deficit and infarct, outcomes for disability at 90 days were better with thrombectomy plus standard care than with standard care alone.

发病后 6 小时以上进行血管内血栓切除术的效果尚不确定。与梗死体积相比,临床缺损程度不成比例严重的患者可能会从晚期血栓切除术受益。
我们招募了颅内颈内动脉或近端大脑中动脉闭塞的患者,这些患者在 6 至 24 小时前状态良好,并且存在临床缺损程度与梗死体积之间的不匹配,根据年龄(<80 岁或≥80 岁)定义不匹配标准。患者被随机分配至血栓切除术加标准治疗(血栓切除术组)或仅标准治疗(对照组)。主要终点是改良 Rankin 量表(范围为 0[死亡]至 10[无症状或残疾])残疾的平均评分和 90 天的功能独立性率(改良 Rankin 量表评分 0、1 或 2,范围为 0 至 6,评分越高表示残疾越严重)。
共纳入 206 例患者,107 例被分配至血栓切除术组,99 例被分配至对照组。31 个月时,由于预定的中期分析结果,试验的入组被停止。90 天时改良 Rankin 量表的效用加权平均评分在血栓切除术组为 5.5,而在对照组为 3.4(校正差异[贝叶斯分析],2.0 分;95%可信区间,1.1 至 3.0;优势后验概率,>0.999),90 天时功能独立性率在血栓切除术组为 49%,而对照组为 13%(校正差异,33 个百分点;95%可信区间,24 至 44;优势后验概率,>0.999)。两组之间症状性颅内出血的发生率无显著差异(血栓切除术组为 6%,对照组为 3%,P=0.50),90 天死亡率也无差异(分别为 19%和 18%,P=1.00)。
在发病前 6 至 24 小时状态良好且存在临床缺损与梗死之间不匹配的急性卒中患者中,与标准治疗相比,血栓切除术加标准治疗在 90 天时残疾的预后更好。(由 Stryker Neurovascular 资助;DAWN ClinicalTrials.gov 编号,NCT02142283)。
