- Abstract
Background: This subgroup analysis of Direct Intraarterial Thrombectomy in Order to Revascularize Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients with Large Vessel Occlusion Efficiently in Chinese Tertiary Hospitals Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial (DIRECT-MT) aimed to investigate the influence of anesthesia modalities on the outcomes of endovascular treatment. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups by receiving general anesthesia (GA) or non-general anesthesia (non-GA). The primary outcome was assessed by the between-group difference in the distribution of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days, estimated using the adjusted common odds ratio (acOR) by multivariable ordinal regression. Differences in workflow efficiency, procedural complication, and safety outcomes were analyzed. Results: Totally 636 patients were enrolled (207 for GA and 429 for non-GA groups). There was no significant shift in the mRS distribution at 90 days between the two groups (acOR, 1.093). The median time from randomization to reperfusion was significantly longer in GA group (116 vs. 93 min, P < 0.0001). Patients in non-GA group were associated with a significantly lower NIHSS score at early stages (24 h, 11 vs 15; 5–7 days or discharge, 6.5 vs 10). The rate of severe manipulation-related complication did not differ significantly between GA and non-GA groups (0.97% vs 3.26%; P = 0.08). There are no differences in the rate of mortality and intracranial hemorrhage. Conclusions: In the subgroup analysis of DIRECT-MT, we found no significant difference in the functional outcome at 90 days between general anesthesia and non-general anesthesia, despite the workflow time being significantly delayed for patients with general anesthesia.
