BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: CTA can rapidly and accurately detect and localize
occlusive disease in patients with ischemic stroke. We have used CTA to assess arterial …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and reliability of computed tomographic (CT)
angiography to distinguish true cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion from pseudo …

Background/Aims: Endovascular treatment improves the outcomes of patients presenting
with acute large vessel occlusions. Isolated proximal carotid occlusions presenting with …

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 and purpose Cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) tortuosity is thought to impede
distal catheterization during attempted mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute …

Background and Purpose—We sought to evaluate the ability of CT angiography (CTA) to
determine vessel occlusion before acute stroke treatment and to predict its impact on patient …

Objective Differentiation between an occluded and a patent extracranial internal carotid
artery (ICA) is crucial in the diagnostic workup of patients with acute ischemic stroke; …

Background Occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA), whether isolated or in the setting of
a tandem lesion (TL) have a poor response to treatment with intravenous thrombolysis …

Background Emergency stent placement in the extracranial internal carotid artery in
combination with anterior circulation thrombectomy is a routine procedure. Yet, precise …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The treatment of acute stroke distal to an occluded
cervical internal carotid artery (ICA) presents a challenge. We report our results of …
