The research aims to address the management of patients with acute stroke and concurrent tandem occlusion of the cervical internal carotid artery.
Multicentre, prospective, randomised, open-label, blinded end-point controlled trial
Eligible patients with acute anterior circulation stroke and angiographic tandem lesions are randomized 1:1 to acute carotid stenting or no stenting during EVT
Primary outcome is the proportion achieving favourable functional outcome (mRS 0–2) at 90 days.
The primary outcome measures are the proportion of patients achieving a favourable functional outcome at 90 days, with follow-up for secondary outcomes at 12 months.
Safety outcomes include tracking any intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), sICH, all-cause mortality, and procedural complications.

Discussion

No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.

Implication

Randomized trial evaluates acute carotid stenting versus no stenting to improve outcomes in stroke patients with tandem lesions, suggesting effective strategies.
