This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of immediate carotid artery stenting during endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke in patients with tandem lesions.
Open-label, international, multi-centre, randomised controlled trial in 27 centers in the Netherlands and Belgium.
633 adult patients with ischemic stroke due to tandem lesions randomly assigned to CAS or deferred management (CEA, delayed CAS, best medical management).
Primary outcome measured at 90 days was modified Rankin Scale score, with safety assessed through symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Data collection is ongoing; specific results are not yet available for presentation.
Expected findings aim to provide real-world insights regarding the safety and efficacy of immediate CAS during EVT in tandem lesion patients.
