Distal medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs) account for an estimated 25% to 40% of all acute ischemic strokes. Emerging evidence from non-randomized trials suggest that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) can achieve high rates of successful reperfusion in MeVO strokes, with a safety profile comparable to EVT for proximal arterial occlusions. These findings underscore the need for a prospective randomized clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVT for MeVO stroke.
This trial aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of EVT for MeVO stroke.
Endovascular treatment in acute intracranial distal medium vessel occlusion stroke (ORIENTAL-MeVO) is an investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial with open-label treatment and blinded endpoint assessment (PROBE). Up to 564 eligible patients will be consecutively randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either EVT or standard of care over a period of 2 years in over 50 comprehensive stroke centers in China.
The primary outcome is a shift in the distribution of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at day 90s with levels 5-6 combined (mRS = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-6). Primary safety endpoints include symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage at 24 h and mortality at 90 days.

远端中型血管闭塞(MeVO)约占所有急性缺血性卒中的25%至40%。非随机试验的新证据表明,血管内血栓切除术(EVT)在MeVO卒中中可实现较高的成功再灌注率,其安全性与近端动脉闭塞的EVT相当。这些发现强调了进行前瞻性随机临床试验以评估EVT治疗MeVO卒中的安全性和有效性的必要性。
本试验旨在评估EVT治疗MeVO卒中的安全性和有效性。
急性颅内远端中型血管闭塞性卒中血管内治疗试验(ORIENTAL-MeVO)是一项由研究者发起的、多中心、前瞻性、随机临床试验,采用开放标签治疗和盲法终点评估(PROBE)。在中国50多个综合卒中中心,将在2年时间内连续纳入多达564例符合条件的患者,以1:1的比例随机分组,分别接受EVT或标准治疗。
主要结局是90天时改良Rankin量表(mRS)评分分布的变化,将5-6级合并(mRS = 0、1、2、3、4、5-6)。主要安全终点包括24小时内的症状性脑出血和90天时的死亡率。
