Long-term clinical outcome following emergency MR-based reperfusion therapy for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion Mori T, Nakazaki M, Tajiri H, Iwata T, Uesugi T, Soga N Department of Stroke Treatment, ShonanKamakura General Hospital Stroke Center, Kamakura City, Japan SNR2010, Bologna
Background and purpose Long-term clinical outcome following emergency MR-based reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke patients remains uncertain. The aim of our retrospective study was to investigate long-term clinical outcome following emergency MR-based reperfusion therapy for acute middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion
Patients Included for retrospective analysis were acute stroke patients who were admitted to our institution between Oct 10, 2005 and Sep 10, 2009, who were admitted within 6 hours from stroke onset, who underwent emergency MR study, which showed no visualization of the MCA who presented neurological symptoms of NIHSS score of 5 or more due to acute MCA who underwent emergency reperfusion therapy
Emergency Reperfusion Therapy Intravenous rt-PA was performed in patients within 3 hours of stroke onset. Endovascular treatment was performed in patients where intravenous t-PA was not appropriate to or in whom intravenous rt-PA could not be injected within 3 hours from onset.
Evaluation Baseline features: age, sex, onset-to-arrival time (OTA), onset-to-needle time(OTN), NIHSS score on admission (NIHSS adm), Clinical outcome modified Rankin scale at 3 months Long-term survival

Conclusion After emergency MR-based reperfusion therapy, long-term survival probability was 76.1%and favorable 3-month clinical outcome was achieved in 33.3% of patients. Young, female patients with lower NIHSS score were alive longer. Patients who underwent endovascular treatment may be alive longer and have better clinical outcome than intravenous rt-PA.
