Risk Factors of Futile Recanalization Following Endovascular Treatment in Patients With Large-Vessel Occlusion: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although successful recanalization (modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction score 2b-3) can be achieved in >80% of patients experiencing stroke attributable to large-vessel occlusion, up to 50% of patients may develop poor clinical outcomes (modified Rankin scale score at 90 days of 3-6), termed as futile recanalization (FR). The meta-analysis aims to determine various risk factors associated with FR.

Methods

In February 2021, a comprehensive literature search on risk factors associated with FR was performed with keywords, including "stroke," "thrombectomy," "treatment outcome," and "risk factors." Their correlations with FR were evaluated using the random effect size meta-analysis model.

Results

Twenty studies with 3037 patients were included with an
