Endovascular Treatment in Patients with Cerebral Artery Occlusion of Three Different Etiologies.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:The outcome of endovascular treatment (EVT) may differ depending on the etiology of arterial occlusion. This study aimed to assess the differences in EVT outcomes in patients with intracranial arterial steno-occlusion (ICAS-O), artery-to-artery embolism (AT-O), and cardiac embolism (CA-O). METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 330 patients with ischemic stroke who underwent EVT between January 2012 and August 2017. Patients were classified according to the etiology. The clinical data, EVT-related factors, and clinical outcomes were compared. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at 3 months, determined using ordinal logistic regression (shift analysis), was the primary outcome. RESULTS:CA-O (n=149) was the most common etiology, followed by ICAS-O (n=63) and AT-O (n=49)
