Résumé
Up to 20% of patients fail to achieve reperfusion with modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) scores of 0-1 after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Furthermore, underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease, particularly when associated with >70% residual or flow limiting stenosis, is associated with higher rates of failed MT and high failure risk MT. The aim of this study was to systematically review the procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with failed MT and high failure risk MT. We also explored differences between patients receiving acute rescue stenting compared with medical management alone. A systematic literature search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane online scientific publication databases for English language publications from their date of inception until October 2018. Studies including adult patients with acute ischemic stroke because of emergent large vessel occlusion with failed (mTICI score 0-1) or high failure risk MT within the anterior circulation who underwent rescue stenting were included. A systematic review and meta-analysis of proportions was performed. Rescue intracranial stenting after failed MT or high failure risk MT results in improved clinical outcomes compared with patients without stenting (48.5% vs. 19.7%, respectively; P < 0.001), without an increase in the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, despite additional use of antiplatelet agents (9.7% vs. 14.1%, respectively; P = 0.04). In patients who fail initial attempts at MT or are high risk for acute reocclusion, rescue intracranial stenting could be considered with the aim to improve functional outcomes. Antiplatelet agents do not increase the risk of hemorrhage in these patients.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Up to 20% of patients fail to achieve reperfusion with modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction (mTICI) scores of 0-1 after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). Furthermore, underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease, particularly when associated with >70% residual or flow limiting stenosis, is associated with higher rates of failed MT and high failure risk MT. The aim of this study was to systematically review the procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with failed MT and high failure risk MT. We also explored differences between patients receiving acute rescue stenting compared with medical management alone.
METHODS
METHODS
A systematic literature search was conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane online scientific publication databases for English language publications from their date of inception until October 2018. Studies including adult patients with acute ischemic stroke because of emergent large vessel occlusion with failed (mTICI score 0-1) or high failure risk MT within the anterior circulation who underwent rescue stenting were included. A systematic review and meta-analysis of proportions was performed.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Rescue intracranial stenting after failed MT or high failure risk MT results in improved clinical outcomes compared with patients without stenting (48.5% vs. 19.7%, respectively; P < 0.001), without an increase in the rate of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, despite additional use of antiplatelet agents (9.7% vs. 14.1%, respectively; P = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
In patients who fail initial attempts at MT or are high risk for acute reocclusion, rescue intracranial stenting could be considered with the aim to improve functional outcomes. Antiplatelet agents do not increase the risk of hemorrhage in these patients.
