Popis: Introduction: Endovascular treatment (EVT), in particular mechanical thrombectomy, has dramatically improved the clinical outcome of patients with large vessels occlusion (LVO) of the anterior circulation. In contrast, the benefits of EVT cannot be applied to lacunar strokes (LS). The absence of a LVO in LS has been historically associated with a more favorable outcome, but in the new era of EVT, this assumption may not be correct anymore. We aimed to test the general assumption that LS have a better prognosis than other stroke subtypes, and analyze the outcome of LS treated with IVT as compared to strokes with LVO treated with IVT and/or mechanical thrombectomy in the multicentric Swiss Stroke Registry. Methods: retrospective propensity score matching analysis of patients from the Swiss stroke registry (SSR) with lacunar stroke treated with thrombolysis versus LVO of the medial cerebral artery treated with EVT (with or without thrombolysis). Primary endpoint was a shift analysis of mRs at 90 days after stroke. Secondary outcomes were favorable functional outcome (mRS 0-1), independence (mRS 0-2), survival with high disability (mRS 3-5) and mortality (mRS 6) at 90 days. Results: From 13'227 patients, the propensity score method matched (sex, age, NIHSS, time to treatment, prior anticoagulation, pre-stroke modified Rankin Score, mRs) 538 patients (269 in each group. There was no difference between groups in mRs shift analysis at 90 days after stroke (OR=0.99, 95%CI=0.73-1.35, p=0.952). There was also no significant difference in mRS 0-1 (59.9% vs 55.8% respectively; OR=0.79, 95%CI=0.55-1.16, p=0.75). LS+IVT patients showed a non-significant trend towards mRS 3-5 (OR=1.23, 95%CI=0.78-1.94, p=0.38), while patients treated with EVT had a slightly, non-significant, higher mortality (6.3% vs 1.9%, p=0.38). Conclusions: Lacunar strokes - which cannot directly benefit from thrombectomy therapy - when treated with IVT and matched on key prognostic variables, seem to have similar outcomes as LVO strokes treated with EVT. This observation confirms that lacunar stroke is not a benign entity and therefore suggests that reperfusion therapy should be addressed with the same intensity as LVO stroke.
