Our objective was to identi-fy easily available factors influencing recanalisation (+/- 24 hours) and this for different occlu-sion sites and treatment strategies. Methods: All subjects from the Acute STroke Registry and Analysis of Lausanne (2003-2011) with AIS showing a pre- or intracranial LVO on CT-angiography <12h were included. Reca-nalisation status was assessed by CTA, MRA or Doppler at 12-48h. Patients were categorized according to occlusion site and treatment. Logistic regression analysis determined predictors. Results: Among 440 patients identified with LVO, 51% showed complete or partial recanalisa-tion. In multivariate analysis, recanalisation of any occlusion site was best predicted by endo-vascular treatment (OR 7.1; 95%CI 2.2-23.2), followed by recanalisation treatment outside cur-rent guidelines (2.6, 1.2-5.7) and standard IV thrombolysis (1.6, 1.0-2.6). Both proximal (2.39, 1.1-4.5) and peripheral intracranial IC occlusion sites (2.2, 1.1-4.2), and absence of extracra-nial EC stenosis (50-100%) (0.4, 0.2-0.7) showed a positive correlation. In addition, intracra-nial recanalisation was more likely with a higher admission NIHSS (1.0, 1.0-1.1) and higher ASPECTS (1.1, 1.1-1.3), and less likely in the presence of decreased vigilance (0.2, 0.1-0.5). Conclusions: In acute ischemic stroke with LVO, concomitant extracranial vessel pathology and absence of recanalisation treatment decrease the probability of arterial recanalisation. For intracranial recanalisation, higher NIHSS, higher ASPECTS and normal vigilance are supple-mentary predictors. Knowledge of these factors could influence treatment algorithms in individ-ual patients. 90 © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel Scientific Programme
