Acute carotid stenting plus aspirin during thrombectomy of tandem occlusions: A matched case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Background and purposeAcute carotid artery stenting (CAS) for ischemic stroke patients with anterior circulation tandem occlusion requires periprocedural antiplatelet therapy to prevent stent thrombosis. However, due to the lack of randomized trials and inconsistent published results, there is no reliable information regarding the safety of additional antiplatelet treatment. Therefore, we compared the safety and functional outcomes of patients treated with acute CAS plus Aspirin during tandem occlusions thrombectomy with isolated intracranial occlusions patients treated with thrombectomy alone.MethodsTwo prospectively acquired mechanical databases from August 2017 to December 2021 were reviewed. Patients were included if they had carotid atherosclerotic tandem occlusions treated with acute
