Endovascular Treatment of Tandem Extracranial/Intracranial Anterior Circulation Occlusions

Abstract

Endovascular therapy of tandem occlusions using extracranial internal carotid artery revascularization as the first step is technically feasible, has a high recanalization rate, and results in an acceptable rate of good clinical outcome. Future randomized, prospective studies should clarify the role of this approach.
