Description
Summary:This study aimed to investigate the outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy-treated patients in King Fahad Medical City, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. A retrospective cohort study of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with endovascular thrombectomy. Patients were included in the study between January 2015 and December 2022. Good outcomes were defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of 0–2 at 90 days. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the independent factors associated with good outcomes. During the study period, 369 patients with acute ischemic stroke (mean ± SD age, 61/- 15.1 yrs; 55.4 % male) underwent mechanical thrombectomy. Median National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) 15. Intravenous thrombolysis was administered to 34.5 % of the patients. Successful recanalization in the anterior circulation was achieved in 84.8 % of patients. Data from mRS performed after 90 days in the anterior circulation were available for 71.2 % of the patients. Of these, 41 % showed a good outcome, and the mortality rate was 22.4 %. The significant factors associated with good outcomes were age, NIHSS score, Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS), and short arterial puncture to recanalization. The number of patients who underwent endovascular thrombectomy has increased over time. The treatment outcomes and mortality were comparable with those of previous endovascular thrombectomy registries despite the high prevalence of DM, lower ASPECT score, and prolonged onset-to-recanalization time.
