“…Also, compared to single-territory infarcts, infarctions in multiple vascular territories are associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke, and with etiologies such as cardioembolism, malignancy, and possibly coronavirus disease 2019. [6][7][8][9] Thus, such patients may require a different strategy in work-up, secondary prevention and follow-up.…”

Introduction: Little is known about the implications of multivessel occlusions (MVO) in large vessel occlusion stroke patients who undergo endovascular treatment (EVT). Patients and methods: We report data from the MR CLEAN Registry: a prospective, observational study on all stroke patients who underwent EVT in the Netherlands (March 2014–November 2017). We included patients with an intracranial target occlusion in the anterior circulation. An MVO was defined as an MCA occlusion (M1/M2) or intracranial ICA/ICA-T occlusion, with a concurrent second occlusion in the ACA or PCA territory confirmed on baseline CTA. To compare outcomes, we performed a 10:1 propensity score matching analysis with a logistic regression model including potential confounders. Outcome measures included 90-day functional outcome (modified Rankin Scale, mRS) and mortality. Results: Of 2946 included patients, 71 patients (2.4%) had an MVO (87% concurrent ACA occlusion, 10% PCA occlusion, 3% ⩾3 occlusions). These patients were matched to 71 non-MVO patients. Before matching, MVO patients had a higher baseline NIHSS (median 18 vs 16, p = 0.001) and worse collateral status (absent collaterals: 17% vs 6%, p < 0.001) compared to non-MVO patients. After matching, MVO patients had worse functional outcome at 90 days (median mRS 5 vs 3, cOR 0.39; 95%CI 0.25–0.62). Mortality was higher in MVO patients (46% vs 27%, OR 2.11, 95%CI 1.24–3.57). Discussion and conclusion: MVOs on baseline imaging were uncommon in LVO stroke patients undergoing EVT, but were associated with poor functional outcome.
