BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although most cervical dissections are managed
medically, emergent endovascular treatment may become necessary in the presence of …

Background The optimal management of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to
tandem occlusion (TO) and underlying carotid dissection (CD) remains unclear. Objective …

Background Acute stroke from tandem extracranial carotid artery and intracranial large
vessel occlusion poses challenges for emergency endovascular treatment. Establishing and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Internal carotid dissection is a frequent cause of ischemic
stroke in young adults. It may cause tandem occlusions in which cervical carotid obstruction …

Background Several randomized clinical trials have proven the safety and efficacy of
mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in large vessel occlusions; nonetheless, there is still no …

Importance Approximately 10% to 20% of large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes involve
tandem lesions (TLs), defined as concomitant intracranial LVO and stenosis or occlusion of …

Internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD) with concomitant occlusive intracranial large artery
emboli is an infrequent cause of acute stroke, with poor response to intravenous …

Objective Tandem occlusions involving both the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) and
an intracranial artery typically respond poorly to intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen …

Purpose Acute ischemic strokes caused by steno-occlusive lesion of the cervical internal
carotid artery are associated with poor clinical outcome. We evaluated the clinical efficacy of …

Background: Definitive treatment of carotid dissection-related strokes is currently unproved.
The best endovascular technique in this setting remains to be established. Objective: To …
