Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Endovascular Treatment in Posterior Circulation Occlusions : A MR CLEAN Registry Study

BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) before endovascular treatment (EVT) has been investigated in randomized trials and meta-analyses. These studies mainly concerned anterior circulation occlusions. We aimed to investigate clinical, technical, and safety outcomes of IVT before EVT in posterior circulation occlusions in a nationwide registry.

METHODS: Patients were included from the MR CLEAN Registry (Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial of Endovascular Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke in the Netherlands), a nationwide, prospective, multicenter registry of patients with acute ischemic stroke due to a large intracranial vessel occlusion receiving EVT between 2014 and 2019. All patients with a posterior circulation occlusion were included. Primary outcome was a shift toward better functional outcome on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days. Secondary outcomes were favorable functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale scores, 0-3), occurrence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages, successful reperfusion (extended Thrombolysis in Cerebral Ischemia ≥2B), first-attempt successful reperfusion, and mortality at 90 days. Regression analyses with adjustments based on univariable analyses and literature were applied.

RESULTS: A total of 248 patients were included, who received either IVT (n=125) or no IVT (n=123) before EVT. Results show no differences in a shift on the modified Rankin Scale (adjusted common odds ratio, 1.04 [95% CI, 0.61-1.76]). Although symptomatic intracranial hemorrhages occurred more often in the IVT group (4.8% versus 2.4%), regression analysis did not show a significant difference (adjusted odds ratio, 1.65 [95% CI, 0.33-8.35]). Successful reperfusion, favorable functional outcome, first-attempt successful reperfusion, and mortality did not differ between patients treated with and without IVT.

CONCLUSIONS: We found no significant differences in clinical, technical, and safety outcomes between patients with a large vessel occlusion in the posterior circulation treated with or without IVT before EVT. Our results are in line with the literature on the anterior circulation.
