Endovascular Thrombectomy for Carotid Pseudo-Occlusion in the Setting of Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Comparative Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effective treatment for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with cervical internal carotid pseudo-occlusion (cICA-PO) requires comprehensive research on the safety and outcomes of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT). However, there are limited data available, highlighting the need for further research to ensure better treatment strategies and improve the quality of care for these patients.

Purpose

This study aims to assess the management and outcomes in this population group compared with patients with true carotid occlusion.

Data sources

Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, a comprehensive systematic review was conducted by using PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus from database inception
