Endovascular Treatment in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke and Comorbid Cancer: Analysis of the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Acute stroke patients with comorbid cancer (CC) are more preferably addressed with endovascular treatment (EVT) than thrombolytic therapy, due to the presumed potential risk of hemorrhagic transformation and systemic bleeding. This study aims to evaluate clinical and procedural outcomes of acute stroke patients with CC receiving EVT.

Methods

Using the Italian Registry of Endovascular Treatment in Acute Stroke, we reviewed prospectively collected data of CC patients treated with EVT from 2011 to 2017. Outcome measures were modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage rate, and 3-month modified Rankin scale. We also compared CC patients with a control group without cancer (non-comorbid cancer) receiving EVT and matched the
