Background: The clinical outcome in patients with stroke associated with internal carotid
artery (ICA) occlusion is poor, although a minority may recover without dependency. The …

Background and Purpose—Previous studies concerning internal carotid artery (ICA)
occlusion have focused on long-term prognosis. The purpose of the present study was to …

Background Little is known about the natural course of internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion
and its possible recanalization. The present study was designed to evaluate recanalization …

Purpose: We prospectively evaluated whether, and to what extent, different clinical
presentations (symptomatic or asymptomatic) or the presence of atherosclerotic narrowing of …

Objective To investigate whether the extent of infarction and clinical outcomes after internal
carotid artery (ICA) occlusion depends on the additional occlusion of the middle cerebral …

Ischemic stroke may occur in patients in whom vascular imaging shows the ipsilateral
internal carotid artery (ICA) to be occluded. In younger patients this is often due to carotid …

Background Previous studies have not distinguished patients with acute cervical internal
carotid artery (ICA) occlusions from those with intracranial occlusions and often consider …

Objective: To determine the incidence of recanalization of the occluded internal carotid
artery (ICA) and establish its natural history. Methods: Patients with duplex-confirmed ICA …

Background Information on outcome of patients with occlusion of the internal carotid artery
(ICA) is limited by the short duration of follow-up and lack of haemodynamic studies on the …

Background and Purpose—Acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO)—
vertebral, basilar, carotid terminus, middle and anterior cerebral arteries—likely portends a …
