Case selection- mechanical thrombectomy
• IV-tPA given in MVO- but not effective- (bridging)
• IV-tPA not possible-( >4.5 hrs, wake-up strokes, anti-coagulants, recent surgery etc. ) (and MVO)

Case selection?
Imaging for MVO, older devices; delay

AHA/ ASA guideline 2015:Patients should receive endovascular therapy with a stent retriever if they meet all the following criteria (Class I; Level of Evidence A). (New recommendation):
prestroke mRS score 0 to 1 acute ischemic stroke receiving intravenous r-tPA within 4.5
hours of onset causative occlusion of the internal carotid artery or proximal
MCA (M1) age ≥18 years NIHSS score of ≥6 ASPECTS of ≥ 6 treatment can be initiated (groin puncture) within 6 hours of
symptom onset

AHA/ ASA guideline:Carefully selected patients with anterior circulation occlusion who have contraindications to intravenous r-tPA, endovascular therapy with stent retrievers completed within 6 hours of stroke onset is reasonable (Class IIa; Level of Evidence C).
Carefully selected patients with acute ischemic stroke in whom treatment can be initiated (groin puncture) within 6 hours of symptom onset and who have causative occlusion of the M2 or M3 portion of the MCAs, anterior cerebral arteries, vertebral arteries, basilar artery, or posterior cerebral arteries (Class IIb; Level of Evidence C)
Waiting after IV tPA not required (Class III)

IV tPA – Does it make a difference?
Subgroup analysis (ESCAPE) -
Received intravenous r-tPA – 235; (OR, 2.5 [1.6–4.0]) No intravenous r-tPA – 76; (OR, 2.6 [1.1– 5.9])
Conclusion:
Stent retriever based mechanical thrombectomy to be offered if there are contraindications to IV tPA
![Page 37: IVtPA vs Mechanical thrombolysis, after 3-hours of stroke](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062901/58f16ce51a28ab23298b45b3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
AHA/ ASA guideline:
Observing patients after intravenous r-tPA to assess for clinical response before pursuing endovascular therapy is not required to achieve beneficial outcomes and is not recommended. (Class III; Level of Evidence B-R).
