The Prediction of Intracranial Artery Calcification on Adverse Outcomes of Large Vessel Occlusive, Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients After Mechanical Thrombectomy: A Prospective Cohort, Observational Study
CAIS-MT is a single-center, prospective cohort study, to evaluate the correlation between outcomes of endovascular treatment(EVT) and intracranial artery calcification(IAC) in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large or medium vessel occlusion.
• Male or non-pregnant women with acute stroke symptoms aged over 18 years.
• Occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid artery, the middle cerebral artery, the anterior cerebral artery, the posterior cerebral artery, basilar artery and intracranial vertebral artery confirmed by CT, MR angiography, or digital subtraction angiography.
• No absolute contraindication to iodinated contrast media.
• Planned treatment with EVT by clinical care team.
• Informed consent obtained from patients or their legal representatives.
• Willing to be followed up as required by the clinical study protocol.
