Thrombectomy + Carotid Stenting

Thrombectomy alone

Arm Description

After emergency admission,intravenous thrombolysis will be administered if possible. Standard endovascular thrombectomy (EMT) and balloon angioplasty will be performed. The method of EMT and the order of endovascular treatment were selected by each center. After EMT and balloon angioplasty, patients with eTICI≥2b_50 were maintained for more than 10 minutes for randomization. In the intervention arm, emergent carotid stenting will be performed. Standardized treatment with antiplatelet and other drugs will be given. A loading dose of antiplatelet agents (aspirin 300 mg and clopidogrel 300 mg) or Tirofiban was given as an intraoperative drug treatment to endovascular therapy prior to emergency balloon dilation or stenting. Intravenous sedation or general anesthesia will be permitted. Oral dual antiplatelet treatment for more than 1 month. Tirofiban is maintained for 24-48 hours, overlapping with oral antiplatelet for 4-6 hours, after excluding intracranial hemorrhage.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To evaluate whether stent implantation on the ipsilateral extracranial segment, after intracranial thrombectomy successful recanalization compared with balloon angioplasty (eTICI≥2b_50) for acute anterior circulation tandem lesions within 24h of onset, can improve neurological functional outcomes(mRS≤2). To evaluate whether stent implantation on the ipsilateral extracranial segment, after intracranial thrombectomy successful recanalization compared with balloon angioplasty (eTICI≥2b_50) for acute anterior circulation tandem lesions within 24h of onset, can increase the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Detailed Description
The study was a prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point Clinical Trial. Subjects were randomized 1:1 according to inclusion and exclusion criteria into a trial group (acute phase extracranial vascular stent implantation group) and a control group (acute phase non-extracranial vascular stent implantation group). Randomization was performed for 90d and 180d for the follow-up to collect primary and secondary efficacy and safety indicators.

Outcomes Assessor
Masking Description
1. Randomization results are known only to the patients themselves and the treating physicians. Baseline and in-hospital visits related to the study endpoint should be evaluated by a third party who is unknown to the patients' grouping and actual treatment status.2. Visits to the primary endpoint were conducted by trained third-party personnel. Standardized visits were conducted under the premise of unknown patient randomization and actual treatment status, and follow-up reports were prepared.3. All research-related image data will be collected for centralized interpretation. The images at each site were interpreted independently, and the readers were not aware of the patient's baseline condition, treatment received (except the images during baseline surgical treatment), and prognosis.
