Analysis of endovascular management outcomes for tandem lesions reveals improved prognosis in patients with acute strokes.

To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with tandem lesions in the anterior circulation undergoing endovascular treatment.
Included 1350 patients with tandem lesions
225 patients underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT)
Analyzed recanalization rates and clinical outcomes using modified Rankin Scale (mRS)
Compared results with non-tandem lesion groups
Successful recanalization achieved in 83.1% of tandem lesion patients
54.7% of patients had a good clinical outcome (mRS ≤ 2)
Majority (61.8%) achieved a relatively good outcome (mRS ≤ 3)
90-day mortality was significantly lower in tandem lesion group (25.3%) compared to non-tandem group (34.6%)

Cernik et al. (2026) studied this question.
