Brief Summary

A prospective, single-center, open-label,randomized, controlled,non-inferiority clinical trial will be conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a dedicated venous sinus thrombectomy stent for endovascular treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

Detailed Description

Endovascular mechanical thrombectomy is reserved for the treatment of refractory cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in the scenario of clinical deterioration in spite of appropriate anticoagulant therapy. However, due to the vascular anatomic and pathophysiological differences, the present used devices,such as stent retriever for arterial occlusion ,aspiration system and balloon catheter cannot provide optimal restoration of venous outflow for high load venous sinus thrombosis.This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, randomized, controlled , non-inferiority clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the dedicated venous sinus thrombectomy stent ,which is a novel NiTi- braided Stent Retriever compared to balloon catheter used before in our center. Patients are eligible if they have a radiologically proven CVST, a high probability of poor outcome.

The trial aims to randomize 60 patients with a 1:1 allocation to receive the dedicated venous sinus thrombectomy stent or balloon catheter.

The primary outcome is the success rate of immediate recanalization.The most important secondary outcomes are mRS and mortality rate at 90 days. The intracranial hemorrhage and other adverse events after post-operative 24 hours and 7 days are the principal safety outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria
  1. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (from onset to randomization less than 28 days) confirmed by cerebral angiography, magnetic resonance venography or computed tomographic venography

  2. Severe form of CVT with a high chance of incomplete recovery, as defined by the presence of one or more of the following risk factors

    1. Clinical deterioration or progression despite anticoagulation
    2. Stupor, Coma (Glasgow coma scale < 9) or mental status disorder
    3. Involvement of multiple sinus veins results in severe high cranial pressure and rapid vision loss

  1. documented generalized bleeding disorder
  2. concurrent thrombocytopenia (<100 x 10E9/L)
  3. severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, that interferes with normal coagulation

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Success rate of immediate recanalizationimmediately intra-operative

3-grade classification scheme that considers different grades for patients with complete recanalization, partial recanalization and no recanalization.

Complete recanalization defined as blood flow without any interruption, Partial recanalization defined as small interruptions of continuous blood flow and narrowing of the venous lumen No recanalization defined as interrupted blood flow.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Modified Rankin Scaleup to 7 days and 90 days post-procedure

Distribution of Modified Rankin Scale

The proportion of symptom-free and improvedup to 7 days and 90 days post-procedure

The symptoms include headache, visual dysfunction, tinnitus, cognitive disorder and epilepsy, etc.

The time of thrombectomy procedureintra-operative

The time of thrombectomy procedure refers to the time from entry of thrombectomy device to vascular recanalization) or the end time of surgery for patients with no vascular recanalization

CSF opening pressureup to 7days

Change of CSF opening pressure 7 days or at discharge post-procedure compared with pre-procedure by lumbar puncture

Incidence of device defectsintra-operative

Defects of research devices during clinical trials, such as operational difficulties, broken devices and any incident related with device defects.

Incidence of SAE (serious adverse events) or AE (adverse events)intra-operative, 24 hours, 7 days and 90 days post-procedure

Incidence of SAE (serious adverse events) or AE (adverse events) intra-operative, 24 hours, 7 days and 90 days post-procedure

The incidence of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhagewithin 7 days post-procedure

Symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage within 7 days post-procedure, specifically intracranial hemorrhage (intracranial parenchymal hematoma, subarachnoid hemorrhage, an ventricular hemorrhage) accompanied by neurological deterioration (NIHSS score increased by ≥4 points compared with pre-procedure.

The proportion of functional independence (modified Rankin score 0-2)up to 7 days and 90 days post-procedure

0-No symptoms; 1-No significant disability; 2-Slight disability; 3-Moderate disability; 4-Moderately severe disability; 5-Severe disability; 6-Dead.
