Effect of the Cervical Lesion Severity on Procedural and Clinical Outcomes after Endovascular Treatment of Acute Tandem Lesions: A Multicenter Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Tandem lesions pose unique challenges in the endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke. We aimed to compare the clinical and procedural outcomes of patients with tandem lesions and extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) complete occlusion versus those with moderate to severe stenosis.

Methods

This is a subanalysis of a multicenter cohort of patients with acute anterior circulation tandem lesions treated with intracranial mechanical thrombectomy and carotid artery stenting, between January 2015 and December 2020. The patients were categorized into 2 groups: extracranial ICA stenosis >70% to 99% and complete occlusion. Outcomes included successful and excellent recanalization, functional independence, symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and puncture-to-re
