Selective Intra-Arterial Hypothermia After Endovascular Treatment for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion
Sponsor: Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital
Summary
This study will examine whether cooling part of the brain through a catheter after endovascular treatment improves recovery in adults with acute basilar artery occlusion, a type of severe stroke. After blood flow has been successfully restored, 818 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either cold saline or room-temperature saline through an artery. The main outcome is the level of disability 90 days later, measured using the modified Rankin Scale. The study will also assess safety, including bleeding in the brain and other complications.

Mechanical thrombectomy
Normothermic saline infusion
Participants in the normothermia group will receive a total of 350 mL of room-temperature (22-25°C) normal saline by intra-arterial infusion following endovascular treatment (EVT), at the same fixed rate as the hypothermia group: 30 mL/min.
4°C saline infusion
Following successful reperfusion with endovascular treatment (EVT), participants in the hypothermia group will receive a selective intra-arterial infusion of 350 mL of 4°C normal saline at a fixed rate of 30 mL/min. No dose escalation will be performed.
