The purpose of this study was to compare treatment outcomes from intracranial angioplasty with or without stenting and intraarterial infusion of a glycoprotein IIb\/IIIa inhibitor in patients with ELVO due to severe ICAS, and to investigate predictors of outcome after endovascular therapy in such patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 140 consecutive patients with ELVO attributable to severe ICAS underwent endovascular therapy at two stroke centers (A and B). Intracranial angioplasty\/stenting was primarily performed at center A and intraarterial infusion of glycoprotein IIb\/IIIa inhibitor (tirofiban) at center B. Data from both centers were prospectively collected into a database and retrospectively analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, successful reperfusion was achieved in 95% (133\/140) of patients and a good outcome in 60% (84\/140). The mortality rate was 7.9%. Symptomatic hemorrhage occurred in 1 patient. There were no significant differences in the rates of successful reperfusion, symptomatic hemorrhage, 3-month modified Rankin scale score 0\u20132, and mortality between the two centers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed the only independent predictor of good outcome was a history of previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) (odds ratio 0.254, 95% confidence interval 0.094\u20130.689, p = 0.007).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both intracranial angioplasty\/stenting and intraarterial infusion of a glycoprotein IIb\/IIIa inhibitor are effective and safe in the treatment of underlying severe ICAS in acute stroke patients with ELVO. In addition, a lack of a history of stroke\/TIA was the only independent predictor of good outcome after endovascular therapy in such patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2018.1.jns172350","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,22]],"date-time":"2018-06-22T09:59:45Z","timestamp":1529661585000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Endovascular treatment for emergent large vessel occlusion due to severe intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis"],"prefix":"10.3171","author":[{"given":"Dong-Hun","family":"Kang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery,"},{"name":"Radiology, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Woong","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seul Kee","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Byung Hyun","family":"Baek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yun Young","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Radiology and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Won","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, Chonnam National University Medical School, Gwangju, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yong-Sun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Radiology, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang-Ha","family":"Hwang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, Chonnam National University Medical School, Gwangju, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joon-Tae","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Man Seok","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurology, School of Medicine, Kyungpook National University, Daegu; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Stroke","first-page":"35","article-title":"Classification of subtype of acute ischemic stroke.
