摘要
Background Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) significantly contributes to ischemic stroke, especially among Asian populations. Large vessel occlusion (LVO) due to underlying ICAD accounts for 15–35% of acute ischemic stroke cases requiring endovascular therapy. However, the successful recanalization rate of ICAD-related LVO remains lower. The TG dilator is a self-expandable device, temporarily dilating ICAD-related blocked blood vessels. Objective To demonstrate TG dilator safety and efficacy for ICAD-related acute ischemic stroke. Methods This was a single-arm, open-label, non-randomized, prospective, multicenter, and investigator-initiated trial that involved patients undergoing TG dilator application for acute ischemic stroke caused by ICAD-related LVO or severe stenosis. Results We enrolled 10 patients in this trial between November 2022 and April 2023. The median (IQR) age was 68 (59.3–75.3) years. Before using the dilator, seven patients received stent retriever treatment. All 10 patients were prescribed a loading dose of aspirin with prasugrel. The median application time was 10 (10–12) min. At the end of the procedure, we achieved significant recanalization immediately in all patients. The stenosis/occlusion decreased from 100% (100–100) to 68% (56.3–75.3). No patient experienced recurrent ischemic stroke or reocclusion within 90 days. We achieved a modified Rankin scale score of 0–2 in 8 patients by day 90. We detected no cases of intracranial hemorrhage, equipment failure, distal embolism, vasospasm, dissection, or perforation requiring intervention. Conclusions Acute revascularization using the TG dilator on patients with ICAD-related LVO or severe stenosis did not cause any significant adverse event, and consistently improved blood flow at 90 days.
