Journal Article
Direct puncture of the carotid artery as a bailout vascular access technique for mechanical thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke—the revival of an old technique in a modern setting
2021
Overview
Purpose
To describe our single-center experience of mechanical thrombectomy (MTE) via a direct carotid puncture (DCP) with regard to indication, time metrics, procedural details, as well as safety and efficacy aspects.
Methods
DCP thrombectomy cases performed at our center were retrospectively identified from a prospectively maintained institutional MTE database. Various patient (age, sex, stroke cause, comorbidities), clinical (NIHSS, mRS), imaging (occlusion site, ASPECT score), procedural (indication for DCP, time from DCP to reperfusion, materials used, technical nuances), and outcome data (NIHSS, mRS) were tabulated.
Results
Among 715 anterior circulation MTEs, 12 DCP-MTEs were identified and analyzed. Nine were left-sided M1 occlusions, one right-sided M1 occlusion, and two right-sided M2 occlusions. DCP was successfully carried out in 91.7%; TICI 2b/3-recanalization was achieved in 83.3% via direct lesional aspiration and/or stent-retrieval techniques. Median time from DCP to reperfusion was 23 min. Indications included futile transfemoral catheterization attempts of the cervical target vessels as well as iliac occlusive disease. Neck hematoma occurred in 2 patients, none of which required further therapy.
Conclusion
MTE via DCP in these highly selected patients was reasonably safe, fast, and efficient. It thus represents a valuable technical extension of MTE, especially in patients with difficult access.
