P-002 Mechanical thrombectomy for patients with stroke presenting with low alberta stroke program early computed tomography score (ASPECTS): early versus late time window outcomes

Abstract

period, with 738 CAS procedures in 632 patients included after exclusion criteria. Overall restenosis rate was 17%, with a 14% restenosis rate at 2 years-time. Multivariable analysis demonstrated former/current smoking status (OR=2.1 [95%CI 1.2-3.9]), moderate contralateral stenosis (OR 3.0 [95%CI 1.4-6.7]), severe contralateral stenosis (OR3.0 [1.4-6.3]), and residual stenosis (OR 454 [95% 85-2413]) were associated with restenosis. AUC for the multivariable model was 0.78. Cutpoint degree for residual stenosis was ~30%, where there was a 9% and 35% rate of restenosis in those less than, and greater than, 30% residual stenosis, respectively (figure 1). Conclusion We present the largest single-center data in the US to date on carotid artery stenosis treated with CAS, and factors associated with restenosis. Residual in-stent carotid stenosis and smoking history were independent predictors. Maximizing treatment of initial stenosis within stent for carefully selected patients and aggressive smoking cessation education are important steps in preventing future carotid restenosis.
