First-Line Stent Retriever Versus Contact Aspiration or Combined Technique for Endovascular Therapy of Posterior Cerebral Artery Occlusion Stroke: The PLATO Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The optimal reperfusion technique in patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion is uncertain. We compared clinical and technical outcomes with first-line stent retriever (SR), contact aspiration (CA), or combined techniques in patients with isolated PCA occlusion.

Methods

This international case-control study was conducted at 30 sites in Europe and North America and included consecutive patients with isolated PCA occlusion presenting within 24 hours of time last seen well from January 2015 to August 2022. The primary outcome was the first-pass effect (FPE), defined as expanded Treatment in Cerebral Infarction (TICI) 2c/3 on the first pass. Patients treated with SR, CA, or combined technique were compared with multivariable logistic regression
