Background and Purpose: Endovascular therapy for tandem occlusion strokes of the anterior
circulation is an effective and safe treatment. The best treatment approach for the cervical …

Importance Approximately 10% to 20% of large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes involve
tandem lesions (TLs), defined as concomitant intracranial LVO and stenosis or occlusion of …

Background While recent studies suggest a benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) for the
treatment of patients with isolated large vessel occlusions presenting after 24 hours from the …

Abstract Approximately 20–30% of patients with acute ischemic stroke, caused by large
intracranial vessel occlusion, have a tandem lesion, defined as simultaneous presence of …

Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) has been demonstrated to be effective for
patients with tandem occlusion. The efficacy and safety of intravenous thrombolysis before …

Background The periprocedural antithrombotic regimen might affect the risk-benefit profile of
emergent carotid artery stenting (eCAS) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to …

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is caused by blockage of an arterial blood vessel in the brain by
a thrombus, which interrupts oxygen supply to the brain parenchyma. The goal of …

Background Endovascular therapy (EVT) is effective and safe in patients with tandem
occlusion. The benefit of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) prior to EVT in acute tandem …

Background The optimal treatment and prognosis for stroke patients with tandem cervical
carotid occlusion are unclear. We analyzed outcomes and treatment strategies of tandem …
