Efficacy of Rescue Stenting/Angioplasty After Failed Thrombectomy for Acute Large Intracranial Vascular Occlusion

Efficacy of Rescue Stenting/Angioplasty After Failed Thrombectomy for Acute Large Intracranial Vascular Occlusion: A Multicenter, Prospective, Open-label, Endpoint-blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 13 Aug 2025

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate whether rescue stenting therapy can improve neurological functional outcomes after failed endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke caused by large vessel occlusion. The study population is divided into two groups: Stent Placement Group: If recanalization is not achieved after 3-5 attempts of thrombectomy, direct stent placement or balloon angioplasty is performed. Continued Thrombectomy Group: If recanalization is not achieved after 3-5 attempts of thrombectomy, at least one additional thrombectomy attempt is performed. The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2 at 90±7 days. The safety endpoint is the incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 48 hours after randomization.
