Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: *A clinical diagnosis of acute stroke, with a deficit on the NIH stroke scale of more than 2 points. • CT or MRI scan ruling out intracranial hemorrhage. • Intracranial arterial occlusion of the distal intracranial carotid artery or middle (M1/M2) or anterior (A1/A2) cerebral artery, demonstrated with CTA, MRA or DSA. • The possibility to start treatment within 6 hours from onset. • Informed consent given. • Age 18 or over.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - cerebral infarction in past 6 weeks -history in intracerebral bleeding -RR > 185/110 unresponsive to antihypertensive agents -blood glucose of < 2.7 or > 22.2 -Clinical signs of hemorrhagic diathesis or platelet count <90 x 10*9/L, APTT>50 sec or INR >1.7 - intravenous treatment with thrombolysis with a dose exceeding 0.9mg/kg or 90 mg -patients who are treated with intravenous thrombolysis while having cantra-indications for it.;Exclusion criteria for mechanical thrombectomy - carotid artery stenosis over 70% (NASCETT) which cannot be stented -RR > 185/110 -Blood glucose < 2.7 or >22.2 -INR > 3.0 or platelet count < 40 x 10*9
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome is the score on the modified Rankin scale 90 days after inclusion in the study. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Imaging: -Vessel recanalization at 24 hours after treatment, assessed by CTA or MRA. The criteria for recanalization on CTA or MRA are based on a modified AOL score and the clot burden score -Infarct size at 24 hours assessed by CT, using standard methods, including manual tracing of the infarct perimeter and semiautomated pixel thresholding. -CTA or MRA at 72 hours will be compared with baseline vessel imaging data, to estimate the recanalization rate. Perfusion CT at baseline is optional, but available at most centers. Infarct size at 24 hours will be compared with plain CT and perfusion CT results at baseline. Clinical parameters -NIHSS , including NIH supplemental motor score, at 24 hours. -NIHSS at 1 week or at discharge. Functional outcome at three months -Barthel -EQ5D | — |
