Endovascular Recanalization for Acute Internal Carotid Artery Terminus Occlusion: A Subgroup Analysis From the Direct-MT Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The efficacy of endovascular recanalization for internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus occlusion has not been completely evaluated.

Objective

To investigate the efficacy of endovascular recanalization for ICA terminus occlusion.

Methods

Data from Direct-MT, a randomized controlled trial, were applied. ICA terminus occlusions were diagnosed with preprocedure computed tomography angiography by the core laboratory. We dichotomized the ICA terminus occlusions into 2 groups (non-T and T) and analyzed the differences between them. Single-factor analysis and multiple logistic regression were applied to detect independent factors for clinical outcomes and futile recanalization.

Results

The rates of first-pass effect, successful recanalization, good clinical
