Treatment recommendations
Thrombectomy is recommended for LVO Stroke of the anterior circulation in addition to IV up to
6h after onset
What means “up to 6h after onset” ?Angio-room ?

Studies Design/Results
Onset to reperfusion in Mr Clean
• Median 332 mn (IQR 279-394)– 1.5% < 3h– 22% from 3 to 4.5h– 40% from 4.5 to 6h– 37% > 6h
• MT/IV Absolute risk difference on mRS 0-2– At 2h: 33 %– At 6h: 6.5%– 7% decrease per hour delay
Thrombectomy is recommended up to 6h after onset
Treatment recommendations
Thrombectomy is recommended for LVO Stroke of the anterior circulation in addition to IV up to
6h after onset
What means a “LVO of the anterior circulation”?
LVO ?
Should we treat stroke with ICA occlusion / Severe stenosis?

Treatment recommendations
Evidence only concerns stent-retrievers
Door is open to other device/technique
But need evaluation
Treatment recommendations
Thrombectomy is recommended as first line treatment in case IV is
contraindicated

Treatment recommendations
Thrombectomy must be done by comprehensive neurovascular team

And by highly specialized Neuro-interventionists

GA versus CS
Impact of GA on TT effect in Mr CleanCommon adjusted OR
• Effect of GA/non GA on 3M shift mRS– Non GA vs Control: 2.13 R (95% CI, 1.46-3.11)– GA vs Control: 1.09 (95% CI, 0.69-1.71)
• Effect of GA/non GA on 3M mRS 0 -2– Non GA vs Control: 2.79 (95% CI, 1.70-4.59)– GA vs Control: 1.09 (95% CI, 0.56-2.12)
A randomize Trial
• One answer to one question
• Statistical massage to answer a not predefined question should not be done
Need for randomized Trials design to answer the question GA/CS
Patient Selection
No thrombectomy if no LVO
Patient Selection
Do we need to assess the LVO by imaging To decide to transfert the patient to a
thrombectomy center ?
But lot of patient un-necessarily transferred for a deep hematoma
Patient Selection
The major question!
Which patient should not receive
thrombectomy due to a too large stroke?

MR Clean
On Which imaging criteria we should refuse to perform a thrombolysis ?
And why?
Is thrombectomy dangerous?
Or just futile
Patient Selection
- 1/3 MCA: No
- ASPECT: No
- Volume of diffusion by automated software: Yes but which volume?
- Rapid mismatch ?
Patient Selection
No age limit
But be human!

RCTs for:-Posterior circulation ?- Stroke imaging ?
- IV+MT versus MT alone +/- IV +- GA versus CS +++
- > 6h +++- New devices +++
After 6 H?
Down study
GA/CS?
Recommendations for implementation, registries and further trial
A national consecutive registry in every country
The routine practice in Toulouse
• We have treated in the last week:– A 91 YO Woman– A Patient with a NIHSS 2– Lot of patients with M2 occlusion– Lot of patients with ICA occlusion– No patient > 6h
