Mesentericarterystenosiscancausesymptomsofchronicmesentericischemia;stenosesmustusuallybe
presentinat least two ofthe three major splanchnicarteries, the celiac trunk,the superior mesenteric
artery, andthe inferior mesenteric artery. In mostcases, ostial or proximal atherosclerotic lesionsare
responsible for the ischemia, and these lesions are amenable to endovascular intervention. Rarely,
fibromusculardiseasemaycausemoredistalstenoses,whichcannotbeintervenedupon.
7.AbdominalAorticAneurysms
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) may be performed to reduce the risk of rupture or
thromboembolism.Indicationsfor EVARincludesymptoms (typicallyabdominalor backpain,embolic
phenomena)atanydiameter,ananeurysmdiameterof≥5.5cmregardlessofsymptoms,orexpansionby
>5mmover6months.42AnatomiccriteriaforEVARincludenormalaorticnecklengthofatleast1cm
withoutsevereangulation,healthycommonorexternaliliacarterylandingzonesofatleast15mm,and
commonfemoralarterydiameteradequatetoaccommodatea14Frenchsheath.ThoracicEVAR(TEVAR)
isindicatedforpatientswithdescendingthoracicaorticaneurysms≥2timesthediameteroftheadjacent
aortawithatleast2cmofnormallandingzonebothproximallyanddistally.43Reportedoff-labelusesof
TEVAR include traumatic aortic rupture, focal penetrating ulcer, and descending thoracic aortic
dissection. Patients with connective tissue disorders are poor TEVAR candidates because of the high
likelihoodoffurtheraorticdegeneration.
8.DeepVenousThrombosis
Catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) is indicated in patients with ileofemoral thrombus, symptom
duration<14days,goodfunctionalstatus,lifeexpectancy≥1year,andlowbleedingrisk.Forpulmonary
embolism, there is some evidence to support low-dose CDT over full-dose systemic thrombolytic
therapy. In patients with shock, high bleeding risk, or failed systemic thrombolysis, catheter-assisted
thrombusremovalisrecommended.
44
B.InformedConsent
Beforeanyendovascularprocedure,ahealthcareprovidermustinformacompetentpatientorsurrogate
aboutthedetailsoftheplannedprocedure,expectedbenefits,potentialrisks,andreasonablealternatives.
The provider should answer relevant questions, assess the individual’s understanding, and ultimately
allow the individualtoacceptor declinetoprocedure.For medicolegal clarity, this informedconsent
process is documentedwith the patient’sor surrogate’s signature on a documentindicating his or her
understandingandacceptanceoftheinformationpresentedbytheprovider.Forachild,consentmustbe
givenbytheparents,butthechildshouldalsoassentifcapableofcomprehendingsomeinformationabout
the intendedprocedure.The informed consentrequirement may onlybe waived incases of emergency
whendelaytoobtainconsentmayjeopardizethepatient’shealth.

1. Thedefinition of stroke is anacute-onset loss of neurological function (typicallyfocal) that results
fromavascularetiology.Therearetwomaintypesofstrokes:(1)ischemic(resultingfromanobstruction

brainterritoryisreferredtoastheischemiccore.Justoutsideofthiscoreareaisanareaofthebrainthat
experiences decreased, but somewhat maintained, cerebral blood flow (CBF) because of arterial
collaterals. This area is referred to as the penumbra. Average CBF in a healthy adult is around
50mL/100g/min.CellularfunctionisperturbedinareaswhereCBFdropsto15-20mL/100g/min.Cells
in this penumbral region may survive for several hours before irreversible cell death, ie, cerebral
infarction, ensues. CBF <10 mL/100 g/min produces failure of cellular ionic gradients. If flow is not
improved,celldeathoccursinlessthan60minutes.16Animportantclinicalcorrelateofthisbasicstroke
pathophysiology is that a clinician at the bedside cannot determine whether a patient with an acute
ischemic stroke, eg, acute-onset hemiplegia, has a penumbral (reversible) or core (irreversible)
neurologicaldeficit.
2.Althoughtimeplaysasignificantroleinstrokepathophysiology,itisnottheonlyfactor.Thebrainis

AnincompleteCOWhasbeenassociatedwithincreasedstrokerisk.17COW facilitatesleptomeningeal
collateralization between the middle cerebral artery (MCA), anterior cerebral artery (ACA) and
posterior cerebral artery(PCA) territories. Some patients have good collateral circulations,others do
not.Itisthestrengthofthesecollateralsthathelpsdefine,inlargepart,thesizeoftheischemiccoreand

For example, blood pressure augmentation may better support brain tissue supplied by a collateral

III.IntravenousTissuePlasminogenActivator—Long-Time
StandardofCareandImportantLimitations
A.NINDSandECASS
In 1995, the NationalInstituteofNeurologicalDisordersandStroke(NINDS)publisheda paperinthe
New England Journal of Medicine supporting the efficacy of IV recombinant tissue plasminogen
activator (tPA) in the settingof acute stroke.31 Their results failed toshow a statistically significant,
clinical improvement orresolutionofstrokesymptomsat24 hours.However,at3 months,there was a
statistical,clinicalimprovementintheIVtPAgroupcomparedwithplacebo.Thisclinicalimprovement
was realized despite an increase in the rate of symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (6% vs 0.6%).
These results were confirmed by the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS) that also
extendedthetimewindowinwhichIVtPAcouldbeadministered(4.5hoursafterstrokeonset).32These
studiesestablishedthefirsteffective treatmentforacuteischemicstrokeanddefinedanewstandardof
care.
B.IntravenousTissuePlasminogenActivatorforIschemicStroke
Limitations
1. A narrow therapeuticwindow. Thenarrowwindowfrom stroke onsetto administrationofIV tPA
meansthatmostpatientsarriveinhospitaltoolatetoreceivethemedication.Approximatelyone-fourthof
patients have so-called “wake up” strokes of uncertain time of onset and are therefore ineligible to
receiveIVtPA.Onaverage,only7%ofpatientspresentingwithacuteischemicstrokereceiveIVtPA.
33-
37
2. Limited efficacy for LVOs and large stroke syndromes. In 2006, Smith et al. reported on a
consecutive series of patients with large stroke syndromes and LVOs.38 They divided their study
population into two groups: one group in which IV tPA achieved recanalization and another with
persistentvesselocclusion.Thegroupinwhichrecanalizationwasachieved,albeitmuchsmallerthanthe
groupwith persistentocclusion,realizedmuchbetterclinicaloutcomes. Thesedataare consistentwith
other reports demonstrating poor recanalization rates for internal carotid artery (ICA) terminus and
basilararteryocclusions.

A.PROACTI,PROACTII,IMSTrials
GiventhelimitedefficacyofIVtPA,especiallyforpatientswithlargestrokesyndromesandLVOs,intraarterial (IA) administration of thrombolytics was studied. In 1998, the Prolyse in Acute Cerebral
Thromboembolism(PROACT)trialcomparedrecombinantpro-urokinasewithplacebo(IVheparin)for
MCA occlusion.40 Recanalization and hemorrhage were more common in patients receiving pro-
urokinase,withonlyrecanalizationreachingstatisticalsignificance.PROACTIIaimedtoproveclinical
efficacy by comparing modified Rankin scores at 90 days of patients receiving pro-urokinase versus
placebo.41 Recanalization in the treatment arm was 66% compared with 18% in the placebo group.
ModifiedRankinScore(mRS)lessthanorequalto2,ie,favorableoutcome,at90dayswas40%inthe
treatmentarmcomparedwith25%intheplaceboarm.Symptomaticintracranialhemorrhage(ICH)was
10%inthetreatmentarmcomparedwith2%intheplaceboarm.Itisimportanttonotethatnoneofthe
patientsinPROACTIorIIreceivedIVtPA.TheInterventionalManagementofStroke(IMS)trialwasa

B.MERCITrial
In2005,theMERCItrialwasconductedtoevaluatethesafetyandefficacyoftheMerciretrieverdevice

theMERCItrial were promising. TheMERCIdevicealoneled toarecanalizationrateof54%,while

V.MRCLEANandtheEmergenceofaNewStandardofCare
In 2015, five clinical trials were published which studied mechanical thrombectomy in the era or
improvedpatientselectionandsecond-generationmechanicalthrombectomydevices,ie,stentretrievers.

A.MRCLEANTrial
TheMulticenterRandomizedClinicalTrialofEndovascularTreatmentforAcuteIschemicStrokeinthe
Netherlands(MRCLEAN)wasthefirstofthesetrialstobereported.1500patientswithCTA-confirmed
LVOs ofthe distal ICAor proximal MCA were randomized to IVtPA plusmechanical thrombectomy
within6 hours ofstrokeonsetor IV tPA alone.Mechanical thrombectomywas performed witha stent
retriever in 97.4% of the interventions. A favorable outcome, defined as mRS 0-2 at 90 days, was
achievedin33%oftheinterventionalgroup,comparedwith19%oftheIVtPA–alonegroup.Therewas

C.EXTEND-IATrial
The Extending the Time for Thrombolysis in Emergency Neurological Deficits—Intra-Arterial
(EXTEND-IA) trial randomized patients with ICA or MCA occlusions to IV tPA plus mechanical
thrombectomy,usingtheSolitairerevascularizationdevice(astentretriever,MedtronicNeurovascular),
versusIVtPAalone.2PerfusionimagingusingRAPIDsoftwarewasusedinallsubjects.CTperfusion

volume <70 mL. There were two primary outcomes: reperfusionof the vascular territory at24 hours
(measuredbypercentagereductionin the perfusionlesion volume) and8-point improvementinNIHSS
(orNIHSS0-1)atday3.Thetrialwasstoppedearly(afterenrollmentof70patients)owingtotheresults
ofMRCLEAN.Medianreperfusionat24hourswas100%.Neurologicimprovementoccurredin80%of

Ischemic Stroke(SWIFT PRIME) compared IV tPA alonewith IV tPAwith stentretriever mechanical

due to the positive results of MR CLEAN.4 Again, patients with known LVO assigned to the
interventionalgroupweremorelikelytobeindependentat90dayscomparedtothepatientsreceivingIV
tPA alone. Infarct volume at 24 hours was smaller in the interventional group (16.3 mL) versus the
medicalgroup(38.6mL).
Takentogether,the2015stentretrievertrialsdefineda newstandardofcare foracuteischemic stroke
secondary toanterior circulationLVOs. MRCLEANandESCAPEshowed a benefit from mechanical
thrombectomyeveninpatientsolderthan80years.Patientswithlargestrokesyndromesasmeasuredby

A.PosteriorCirculationStrokes/AcuteBasilarOcclusion
continuestoincreaseincludingposteriorcirculationstrokes/acutebasilarocclusion.Withtheexceptionof
a handful of patients in IMS III and SYNTHESIS, the 2015 mechanical thrombectomy trials studied
anterior circulation LVOs. In part,this reflectsthe exceptionallyhighmorbidity and mortality of acute
basilar artery occlusion (80%-90%) without intervention. Most interventionists are reluctant to offer
aggressivetreatmentgiventhe grave naturalhistory. Amajority ofreportsintheliterature support this
philosophy.Itisunlikelythatarandomizedclinicaltrialwilleverbeperformedtoanswerthisquestion
conclusively.
