About this trial
The objective of this study is to create a comprehensive, real-world, multi-center observational registry of consecutive patients admitted to hospitals with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO), who are treated with either endovascular therapy (EVT) or the best available medical management (BMM).

Treatments tested in this trial
Endovascular Therapy
Procedure/SurgeryEndovascular therapy, as an adjunct to standard stroke therapy, may be beneficial for a very select population of patients who present with an acute ischemic stroke and have a proven large, proximal occlusion on imaging. Endovascular therapy includes any one or more of the following: Intra-arterial thrombolytic therapy, aspiration, stent retrieval, or a combination of multiple mechanical devices.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Modified ranking scale (mRS) at 90 days
A 0-6 scale running from perfect health without symptoms to death.
Mortality within 90 days
mortality of any causes.
Secondary outcomes
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores at 90 days
The NIHSS is composed of 11 items, each of which scores a specific ability between a 0 and 4. For each item, a score of 0 typically indicates normal function in that specific ability, while a higher score is indicative of some level of impairment. The individual scores from each item are summed in order to calculate a patient's total NIHSS score. The maximum possible score is 42, with the minimum score being a 0.
Occurrence of periprocedural complications
Periprocedural complications include any intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral edema, brain herniation and pneumonia.
ASPECT (Alberta Stroke Program Early CT score)
ASPECTS is a 10-point quantitative topographic CT scan score used in patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke.
EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D)
The EQ-5D comprises five questions on mobility, self care, pain, usual activities, and psychological status with three possible answers for each item (1=no problem, 2=moderate problem, 3=severe problem). A summary index with a maximum score of 1 can be derived from these five dimensions by conversion with a table of scores. The maximum score of 1 indicates the best health state, by contrast with the scores of individual questions, where higher scores indicate more severe or frequent problems.
