急性脳底動脈閉塞患者における血栓除去術のための橈骨アクセスと大腿アクセス

In this trial, acute ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion in the posterior circulation within 24 hours of symptom onset or last known well will be included. After screening and baseline evaluation, eligible subjects will be randomly assigned to one of the following 2 groups in a 1:1 ratio: The experimental group will undergo basilar artery recanalization via the radial artery approach, while the control group will through the femoral artery approach. The primary endpoint of this study is the favorable functional outcome at 90 days after the endovascular recanalization (defined as mRS ≤ 3). Subgroup analyses were prespecified for the primary outcome according to sex (male or female), age (<70 years or ≥70 years and <80 years or ≥80 years), baseline stroke severity (NIHSS score 10 to 19 or ≥20), time from the estimated time of basilar-artery occlusion to randomization (<6 hours or ≥6 hours), intravenous thrombolysis (no or yes), location of basilar-artery occlusion (proximal, middle, or distal), the presumed cause of the basilar-artery occlusion (large-artery atherosclerosis, cardioembolism, or undetermined and other determined cause), intracranial atherosclerotic disease as cause of stroke (yes or no), and PC-ASPECTS at baseline (<8 or ≥8).
