Endovascular Thrombectomy in Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke With Simultaneous Multivessel Occlusions.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Simultaneous multivessel occlusions (MVOs) are a rare condition, which may be encountered during endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, associated factors, and outcome of patients with acute ischemic stroke and MVO who underwent EVT. Methods: Consecutive patients with acute ischemic stroke who received EVT between September 2014 and April 2021 were included. Acute MVO was defined as simultaneous occlusions of ≥2 intracranial or extracranial major vessels in either bilateral anterior circulation or anterior plus posterior circulation. Patients' baseline characteristics and outcome of MVO were analyzed. Results: Of 602 patients with acute ischemic stroke (mean age, 71±13 years; male, 53.1%) who received EVT, 11 patients (1.8%) had acute MVO. The involved vessels included bilateral internal carotid arteries in 3, bilateral middle cerebral arteries in 4, vertebral artery and distal middle cerebral artery in 1, and internal carotid artery and distal posterior cerebral artery in 3 patients. Preadmission dependence (modified Rankin scale score >2), higher initial stroke severity, and posterior cerebral artery occlusion were more frequently found in MVO. The cause of MVO included large vessel atherosclerosis in 4, cardioembolic in 4, cancer-related hypercoagulability in 2, and postpartum in 1 patient. Several patients had received simultaneous multitargeted EVT, but only 4 of them achieved optimal reperfusion in both vessels. Compared with patients without MVO, those with MVO had higher mortality (adjusted odds ratio, 6.75; 95% CI, 1.93-23.6) and poor functional outcome (common odds ratio for 1-point improvement at modified Rankin scale, 0.14, 95% CI, 0.05-0.45) at 90 days. Conclusion: Acute simultaneous MVO in patients who underwent EVT is a rare yet devastating condition. Multitarget mechanical thrombectomy to achieve reperfusion is challenging but still possible.
