Study of Endovascular Therapy in Acute Anterior Circulation Large Vessel Occlusive Patients With a Large Infarct Core: A Multi-centered, Prospective, Open-label, Blind Endpoint， Randomized Controlled Trial（ANGEL-ASPECT）
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Best medical management and Endovascular therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke. Completed, enrolled 456 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Endovascular therapy (EVT) was recommended as the primary treatment for patients with acute large vascular occlusion (LVO) in anterior circulation. However, the evidences of EVT for patients with large infarct volume were limited. In this study, the investigators assume that best medical management plus EVT might be superior than best medical management alone for patients who have evidence of a large infarct volume. The primary objective of the study was to establish the safety and efficacy of EVT in patients presenting with symptoms of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) from LVO in the anterior circulation and having a large infarct volume.

Interventions
All the patients enrolled received standard guideline-directed medical therapy including: monitor vital signs, management of blood pressure, glucose and lipids, antithrombotic (antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapy determined by treating physician) therapy if appropriate.
In the procedure, the methods including mechanical thrombectomy, aspiration thrombectomy, intra-arterial thrombolysis, angioplasty and stenting can be used according to the local interventionalists' choice. Mechanical thrombectomy (recommended with Solitaire、EMBOTRAP、Trevo or Reco revascularization device) or aspiration thrombectomy (recommended with Penumbra) will be recommended as the primary treatment.
