What factors are associated with 24-hour carotid stent patency and functional outcomes after endovascular therapy?
Early carotid stent occlusion occurs in 20% of patients after endovascular therapy and is associated with worse functional outcomes, highlighting the importance of factors like P2Y12 antagonist administration.
One out of 5 patients treated with carotid artery stenting during endovascular therapy presented a stent occlusion within 24 hours. This event was associated with worse functional outcome. Stroke etiology, P2Y12 antagonist administration, quality of intracranial reperfusion, and angioplasty were associated with 24-hour stent patency.
