Prevention and Treatment of Reperfusion Injury After Mechanical Thrombectomy in Acute Ischemic Stroke

December 26, 2022 updated by: Xijing Hospital

Ischemic stroke accounts for 80% of all strokes and there is a lack of effective treatment options.Mechanical thrombectomy can significantly improve the vascular recanalization rate and reduce the disability rate of stroke, but the problem of reperfusion injury caused by vascular recanalization is more prominent than before.

The most common manifestation of reperfusion injury is postoperative hemorrhage transformation in the infarct area, which is caused by the inability of blood vessels to tolerate normal perfusion pressure after endothelial cell injury.Therefore, in addition to using necessary strategies to reduce the risk of bleeding before and during surgery, maintaining an appropriate and individualized perfusion pressure after surgery is also an important strategy to prevent and treat postoperative bleeding.

Lead a multicenter, randomized, controlled study looking at Individuation lowers blood pressure.( Drop systolic blood pressure to 90-110mmHg,Blood pressure not lower than 90/60 mm Hg,The reduced blood pressure was maintained for 48 hours). Influence of the incidence of hemorrhage transformation caused by reperfusion injury after mechanical thrombectomy and prognosis (modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score and proportion of patients with mRS≤2) at 48hours, 14 and 90 days after surgery.Thus, provide clinical evidence for blood pressure management strategy after mechanical thrombectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental group
  1. Lower systolic blood pressure to 90-110 mm Hg.
  2. Blood pressure not lower than 90/60 mm Hg
  3. Hypotensive maintenance treatment for 48 hours.

The division of care unit doctors and nurses is clear, the former is responsible for giving medical advice, the latter is responsible for carrying it out.

The experimental group and the control group were given intravenous antihypertensive drugs (no restriction on the type of drugs), and their blood pressure reached the standard within 2 hours after vascular opening.

Active Comparator: The control group
  1. Subjects with basic blood pressure(BBP) > 140/90 mm Hg should have BBP lowered to about 140/90 mm Hg.
  2. Subjects whose BBP was less than 140/90mm Hg were kept BBP.

The division of care unit doctors and nurses is clear, the former is responsible for giving medical advice, the latter is responsible for carrying it out.

The experimental group and the control group were given intravenous antihypertensive drugs (no restriction on the type of drugs), and their blood pressure reached the standard within 2 hours after vascular opening.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Modified Rankin Scale score
Time Frame: 90 days

Good prognosis rate (mRS ≤ 2 points) at 90 days after surgery in the test and control groups.

Modified Rankin Scale scores range from 0 to 6, with a lower score indicating a better prognosis .

90 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The incidence of symptomatic bleeding transformation
Time Frame: 48 hours
The secondary outcome was the incidence of symptomatic bleeding transformation due to reperfusion injury within 48 hours after surgery.
48 hours
National Institution of Health Stroke Scale scores
Time Frame: 48 hours

NIHSS scores at 48 hours postoperatively in the test group and the control group.

NIHSS scores range from 0-42, the higher the score the more severe the patient's clinical symptoms

48 hours
Modified Rankin Scale score
Time Frame: 14 days
The mRS scores at 14 days after surgery in the test and control groups. Modified Rankin Scale scores range from 0 to 6, with a lower score indicating a better prognosis .
14 days
