Detailed Description
The ANGEL-BAO is a multicentered, prospective, randomized, open-label, blinded end-point clinical trial. A total of 224 patients with acute basilar artery occlusion with extended time window of 24-72 hours from onset will be enrolled. Patients fulfilling all of the inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized 1:1 into two groups (endovascular treatment or medical management) after offering informed content.

---|---|
Active Comparator: Best medical management Patients randomly assigned to the control group should receive the best medical management according to the guidelines. |
Drug: Best medical management
Best medical management included assessment of vital signs and neurological deficits,airway protection respiratory support,circulation;blood pressure monitoring;nutritional support;complication control;symptomatic treatment;laboratory and imaging examinations;etiological analysis and evaluation; anti platelet(e.g. aspirin,adenosine diphosphate (ADP) receptor inhibitors,Adenosine reuptake inhibitors,Glycoprotein platelet inhibitors);anticoagulation(e.g. warfarin, rivaroxaban,dabigatran,apixaban,edoxaban);lipid lowering(e.g. Statins,Fibrates);control of blood pressure(e.g. Thiazide diuretics,Potassium-sparing,Loop diuretic,Beta-blockers,Angiotensin II receptor blockers,Calcium channel blockers,Alpha blockers,Central alpha-2 receptor agonists);control of blood glucose(e.g. SULFONYLUREAS (SFUs),GLINIDES,BIGUANIDES,ALPHA-GLUCOSIDASE INHIBITORS: STARCH BLOCKERS,THIAZOLIDINEDIONES,GLP-1 ANALOGS,DPP-4 INHIBITORS,SGLT2 inhibitors); control of other risk factors
|
Experimental: Endovascular treatment Stent retrievers, thromboaspiration, balloon angioplasty, stent deployment, intra-arterial thrombolysis (Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) or urokinase), or the various combinations of these approaches. |
Procedure: Endovascular treatment
The strategies that were used for endovascular treatment included :stent retrievers (e.g., Solitaire® [Medtronic, USA], Trevo® [Stryker, USA], EMBOTRAP® [Johnson & Johnson, USA], Captor® [HeartCare, China] and other stent-retriever systems) thromboaspiration (e.g., Penumbra® [Penumbra, USA], Afentta® [HeMo, China] and other aspiration systems)) balloon angioplasty (e.g., Gateway® [Stryker, USA], Neuro RX® [SinoMed, China], FocuStar® [HeMo, China] and other intracranial balloon catheter systems) stent deployment (e.g., Wingspan® [Stryker, USA], Apollo® [MircoPort, China], Enterprise® [Johnson & Johnson, USA], Neuroform EZ® [Stryker, USA] and other Intracranial stent systems)) intraarterial thrombolysis (with alteplase or urokinase) combinations of above approaches that were left to the discretion of the treating team

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Rate of modified Rankin scale 0-3 at 90 (±14) days after randomization [90±14 days after randomization]
The modified Rankin scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of mRS score as an ordinal scale at 90 (±14) days after randomization [90±14 days after randomization]
The modified Rankin scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death.
- Rate of mRS 0-2 at 90 (±14) days after randomization [90±14 days after randomization]
The modified Rankin scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, with a score of 0 indicating no disability, 1 no clinically significant disability, 2 slight disability, 3 moderate disability but remaining able to walk unassisted, 4 moderately severe disability, 5 severe disability, and 6 death.
- Rate of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score at 24 hours after randomization [24 hours after randomization]
The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) ranged from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater neurologic deficits.
- Rate of NIHSS score at 7 (±3) days after randomization or discharge (whichever came first) [7 (±3) days after randomization or at discharge]
The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS) ranged from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating greater neurologic deficits.
- Rate of Functional health status and quality of life (EuroQol Five Dimensions) at 90 (±14) days after randomization [90±14 days after randomization]
EuroQol Five Dimensions (EQ-5D) is a standardized instrument for measuring the general health status. Rated level can be coded as a number 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, which indicates having no problems for 1, having some problems for 2, having moderate problems for 3, having serious problems for 4 and having extreme problems for 5.
- Proportion of basilar artery recanalization at 18-36 hours after randomization [18-36 hours after randomization]
Basilar artery recanalization is defined as grade 2-3 of arterial occlusive lesion (AOL) scale. The AOL Score was defined as: 0=no recanalization of the primary occlusion, I=incomplete or partial recanalization of the primary occlusion with no distal flow, II=incomplete or partial recanalization of the primary occlusion with distal flow, or III=complete recanalization of the primary occlusion with distal flow.
Other Outcome Measures
- Rate of any Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (SICH) defined as the Heidelberg classification within 18-36 hours of randomization [18-36 hours after randomization]
Heidelberg standard was defined as new intracranial hemorrhage detected by brain imaging associated with any of the item below: 4 points total NIHSS at the time of diagnosis compared to immediately before worsening. 2 point in one NIHSS category. Leading to intubation/hemicraniectomy/ventricular drainage placement or other major medical/surgical intervention. Absence of alternative explanation for deterioration.
- Rate of any Any intracranial hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI imaging within 18-36 hours after randomization [Any intracranial hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI imaging within 18-36 hours]
Any intracranial hemorrhage identified by CT or MRI imaging within 18-36 hours
- All cause of mortality within 7 (±3) days after randomization [7 (±3) days after randomization]
All cause of mortality within 7 (±3) days after randomization
- All cause of mortality within 90 (±14) days after randomization [90±14 days after randomization]
All cause of mortality within 90 (±14) days after randomization
