About this trial

The role of endovascular thrombectomy in patients with extra-large ischemic burden is still unclear. The XL STROKE-2 randomized trial is aiming to investigate the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy in acute extra-large ischemic stroke patients with large vessel occlusion.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age 18 years or older, and modified Rankin scale score = 0 or 1 in patients 80 years or older;

Acute ischemic stroke within 6 hours from last known well to randomization, or with negative MRI-FLAIR (no change on FLAIR sequence and presence of infarct on MRI-DWI) if > 6 hours or unknown last known well time;

Occlusion of the internal carotid artery, M1 or M2 segment of the middle cerebral artery confirmed by CTA/MRA/DSA;

Baseline ASPECTS score of 0-2 or infarct core volume ≥100ml;

Disqualifiers

CT or MR evidence of hemorrhage;

Evidence of mass effect with ventricular effacement, midline shift or herniation on baseline imaging;

Vessel tortuosity where it is expected that the thrombectomy device will not be able to reach the occlusion site or result in unstable access;

History of bleeding disorders, severe heart, liver or kidney disease, or sepsis;
