Abstract

AbstractImportanceEndovascular thrombectomy (ET) has previously been reserved for patients with small to medium acute ischemic strokes. Three recent randomized control trials (RCTs) have demonstrated functional benefit and risk profiles for ET in large volume ischemic strokes.ObjectiveThe primary objective of the meta-analysis was to determine the combined benefit of ET in adult patients with large volume acute ischemic strokes and to better determine the risk of adverse events following ET.Data SourcesWe systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled, and Google Scholar for all RCTs published in English language between January 1, 2010, to February 19, 2023.Study SelectionWe included only RCTs specifically comparing ET to medical therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke with large volume infarctions as defined by Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS) 3-5 or calculated infarct volume of > 50-70mL. Two independent reviewers screened potential studies for full text review and metaanalysis inclusion with conflicts being resolved by consensus or third reviewer.Data Extraction and SynthesisData was extracted based on pre-specified variables on study methods and design, participant characteristics, analysis approach, as well as efficacy and safety outcomes. Results were combined using a restricted maximum-likelihood estimation random-effects model. Studies were assessed for potential bias and quality of evidence.Main Outcome(s) and Measure(s)The prespecified primary outcome was an overall ordinal shift across the range of modified Rankin scale scores toward a better outcome at 90 days following either ET or medical management for patients with large volume ischemic strokes.ResultsA total of 3044 studies were screened, and 29 underwent full text review. 3 RCTs (1011 patients) were included in the analysis. The pooled random effects model for the primary outcome of mRS improvement favored ET over medical management, generalized odds ratio 1.55 [95% CI 1.25 – 1.91, T2= 0.01, I2= 42.84%]. There was a trend toward increased risk of symptomatic ICH in the ET group, relative risk 1.85 [95% CI 0.94 – 3.63, T2= 0.00, I2= 0.00%].Conclusions and RelevanceIn patients with large volume ischemic strokes, ET has a clear functional benefit and does not confer increased risk of significant complications compared to medical management alone.
