Effect of Individualized Versus Standard Bp Management During MT for Anterior Ischemic Stroke

This study have to objective to evaluate the efficacy of an individualized BP control during mechanical thrombectomy (regardless of the sedation modality), by maintaining a mean arterial pressure (MAP) within 10% of the first MAP measured in the angiography suit, compared to the standard BP management, on the 3-month functional outcome.

Inclusion criteria

• Age >18 years old
• Acute ischemic stroke due to an anterior large vessel occlusion: occlusion of the M1 or M2 segments of the middle cerebral artery, anterior cerebral artery (A1 segment), intracranial internal carotid artery, or tandem occlusions.
• Indication for mechanical thrombectomy under general anesthesia or conscious sedation within the first 6 hours from symptoms onset or within the first 24 hours if DAWN or DEFUSE-3 criteria are met.
• Affiliation to social security assurance.

Exclusion criteria

• Contre-indication to mechanical thrombectomy
• Intubation or induction of general anaesthesia prior to randomization
• Acute ischemic strokes associated with a posterior circulation large vessel occlusion (basilar artery, vertebral artery, posterior cerebral artery)
• Intra-hospital onset of acute ischemic stroke, or secondary to a medical, interventional or surgical procedure (interventional cardiology, cardiac or vascular surgery) or any post-surgery ischemic stroke.
• Pre-existing neurological disability limiting neurological assessment at 3 months: mRS >2 at randomization.
• Contraindication to iodinated contrast agents
• Known pregnancy or breastfeeding woman
