Background: Ischemic strokes due to tandem occlusions (TOs) have poor outcomes if they
have been treated with only medical interventions. Recent trials demonstrated the …

Introduction Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion has a
poor prognosis if treated by intravenous thrombolysis. Intra-arterial (IA) treatment is a …

Background and Purpose—Although intracranial thrombectomy represents the standard
treatment approach for anterior circulation tandem occlusions, whether the extracranial …

Background Mechanical thrombectomy with stent-retrievers results in higher recanalization
rates compared with previous devices. Despite successful recanalization rates …

Introduction Acute tandem occlusions of the cervical and distal internal carotid artery (ICA) or
middle cerebral artery (MCA) are associated with major stroke with intravenous (iv) …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: In past years, thrombectomy has become a widely used
procedure in interventional neuroradiology for the treatment of acute intracranial occlusions …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Internal carotid artery dissection is a common cause of
stroke in young adults. It may be responsible for tandem occlusion defined by a cervical …

Extracranial carotid artery occlusion or high-grade stenosis with concomitant intracranial
embolism causes severe ischemic stroke and shows poor response rates to intravenous …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: There are very few published data on the patency of
carotid stents implanted during thrombectomies for tandem lesions in the anterior circulation …

Introduction A tandem occlusion is a rare presentation of acute stroke that involves an
occlusion of the internal carotid artery at the bifurcation with an intracranial middle cerebral …
