Effects of prior antiplatelet use on futile reperfusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke receiving endovascular treatment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

We evaluated the effects of prior antiplatelet use (APU) on futile reperfusion (FR) after endovascular treatment (EVT) in acute ischemic stroke.

Material and methods

We consecutively collected data of 9369 patients with acute ischemic stroke from four university-affiliated multicenter registry databases over 92 months. We enrolled 528 patients with acute stroke receiving EVT. Among them, we defined FR in subjects as a 3-month modified Rankin Scale score of >2 despite successful reperfusion after EVT. We classified patients into two groups: prior APU and no prior APU. We used propensity score matching (PSM) to overcome the imbalance in multiple covariates between the two groups. After PSM, we compared the baseline characteristics between the two groups and perfor
