Endovascular Treatment of Patients With Acute Ischemic Stroke With Tandem Lesions Presenting With Low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recent trials confirmed the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy in patients with low Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score (ASPECTS); however, evidence in tandem lesions is limited. This study evaluates endovascular thrombectomy safety and efficacy in patients with acute large-vessel occlusion with tandem lesions, stratified by baseline ASPECTS.

Methods and results

We conducted a retrospective analysis of data from 16 centers. Inclusion criteria included the following: age ≥18 years, anterior circulation tandem lesions, endovascular thrombectomy <24 hours of symptom onset, and ≥70% internal carotid artery stenosis/occlusion. Patients were categorized into low (0-5) and high (6-10) ASPECTS. Inverse probability of treatment weighting ma
