Endovascular Magnesium Sampling in Acute Stroke

Not Applicable
Terminated
Conditions
Acute Stroke
Interventions
Other: endovascular sampling
Registration Number
NCT01502748
Lead Sponsor
University of Southern California
Brief Summary

This investigation will address the safety and feasibility of distal, intra-arterial sampling through endovascular access, in acute stroke patients. Levels of Magnesium will be measured in the region of infarct in patients who had been treated with intravenous Magnesium therapy following an acute stroke. This study attempts to address whether the traditional intravenous means of neuroprotectant administration achieves adequate concentration of the therapeutic agent in the area of diseased tissue.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Magnesium concentrationintra-procedure (at time of first pass of retrieval device)

The primary endpoint is the relative concentration of Mg in the core cerebral ischemic zone, compared to systemic therapeutic Mg levels, as a measure of delivery efficacy of systemic administration.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sampling feasibilityintra-procedural (at time of first pass of retrieval device)

sampling feasibility will be determined by the proportion of cases in which a cerebral circulation Mg level was successfully assayed

Safetypost-operative day 1

safety will be assessed by intraoperative adverse events, postoperative neurologic examination including NIH stroke scale, and postoperative brain imaging.
