Brief Summary

To investigate whether using balloon guide catheter with flow arrest during mechanical thrombectomy, compared to non-flow arrest, improves the rate of first pass expanded Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infa...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • age ≥18 years;
  • Clinical diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke with internal carotid artery occlusion confirmed by imaging (CTA/MRA/DSA), including isolated intracranial internal carotid artery (I-type), internal carotid artery intracranial segment involving middle cerebral artery (L-type), or internal carotid artery intracranial segment involving middle and anterior cerebral arteries (T-type) (including tandem embolic occlusions of the internal carotid artery C1 or common carotid artery);
  • Baseline NIHSS≥6, and meeting local guidelines for mechanical thrombectomy;
  • Time from onset or last known normal to randomization within 24 hours and proceeding to mechanical thrombectomy;
  • Signed informed consent (or by legal representative).

Exclusion

  • Pre-stroke mRS score \>2
  • Intracranial hemorrhage shown on imaging;
  • Known or suspected internal carotid artery occlusion caused by dissection or atherosclerosis;
  • Vascular tortuosity preventing the use of balloon guide catheter;
  • Prior stent implantation in the target vessel that would impede the use or removal of mechanical thrombectomy devices;
  • Any other circumstances impeding mechanical thrombectomy implementation;
  • Acute occlusion of multiple vascular territories in bilateral anterior circulation or in both the anterior and posterior circulations confirmed by CTA/MRA;
  • Pregnant subjects;
  • Subjects allergic to contrast agents;
  • Subjects refusing to cooperate or unable to tolerate interventional procedures;
  • Subjects whose expected lifetime are less than 90 days;
  • Midline shift or herniation with ventricular mass effect;
  • Subjects deemed unable to participate in follow-up by investigators;
  • Other situations deemed unsuitable for balloon guide catheter use by investigators.
