摘要
The efficacy of endovascular therapy in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to tandem occlusion is comparable to that for isolated intracranial occlusion in the anterior circulation. Definitive treatment of carotid dissection-related strokes is currently unproved. The best endovascular technique in this setting remains to be established, but emergency carotid artery stenting (CAS) is frequently considered. We investigated the safety and efficacy of emergency CAS for carotid dissection in patients with acute stroke in current clinical practice.
