Objectives

Narrative objectives1

To clarify the effectiveness and safety of low-dose (0.6 mg/kg) intravenous alteplase for CRAO within 4.5 hours of onset, the factors associated with visual recovery following this treatment, and the characteristics of cases in which this therapy demonstrates efficacy.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Recovery to a corrected visual acuity of 20/100 or better in the affected eye within one month of onset (or, if pre-morbid visual acuity was below 20/100, an improvement of logMAR visual acuity by 0.3 or greater from onset or improvement to pre-morbid visual acuity)

Key secondary outcomes

Efficacy secondary outcomes
Primary outcome measures for cases with initial visual acuity below 20/2000, below 20/200, and for CRAO cases
For all enrolled cases and cases with initial visual acuity below 20/2000, below 20/200, and CRAO cases: degree of improvement in logMAR visual acuity from onset, improvement of logMAR visual acuity by 0.1 or greater, improvement of logMAR visual acuity by 0.3 or greater, and shift analysis
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at one month after onset

Safety outcomes
Serious bleeding events within 36 hours (symptomatic/any intracranial hemorrhage, intraocular hemorrhage, other bleeding), onset of cerebral infarction within one month, recurrence of CRAO/BRAO in the affected eye within one month, and mortality within one month

Key inclusion criteria

1. Adults aged 18 years or older
2. Patients diagnosed with NA-CRAO (or BRAO with a poor visual prognosis) by an ophthalmologist
3. Patients who presented within 24 hours of onset
4. Patients who presented between October 1, 2021 (or the date when the collaboration system between ophthalmologists and stroke physicians was established), and September 30, 2024

Key exclusion criteria

1. Patients suspected of arteritic CRAO (or BRAO)
2. Patients who showed rapid visual improvement naturally (e.g., transient monocular blindness)

4. Patients who received urgent (within 48 hours of onset) endovascular treatment or carotid revascularization therapy
5. Cases where the patient or their legal representative expressed a desire not to participate
6. Patients deemed ineligible for enrollment by the study physician

Results

Patients were analysed if they had best-corrected visual acuity below 10/200, clearly defined symptom onset, absence of proliferative retinopathy, and 30-day visual outcome data. Sixteen of 41 registered patients were analysed (9 received IVT). The primary outcome was achieved in 22.2% of the IVT group versus 0% of the non-IVT group. Improvement in logMAR was greater in the IVT group (median difference 0.45 [95%CI, 0.18 to 1.20]; p=0.023).

Baseline Characteristics

Mean age, 70.1 (12.6) years; 4 were women (25%); 13 had CRAO (81.3%).

Participant flow

Among 41 registered patients, 16 patients were analysed if they had best-corrected visual acuity < 10/200, clearly defined symptom onset, absence of proliferative retinopathy, and 30-day visual outcome data.

Adverse events

One asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage occured

Outcome measures

The primary outcome was 30-day BCVA 20/100 or above; secondary outcome included change in BCVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]); and safety outcomes included intracranial hemorrhage (ICH).
