Background and Purpose: Although endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke
is classified as I evidence, outcomes after EVT in real-world practice appear to be less …

Background Occlusion of the internal carotid artery (ICA) may extend into the middle or
anterior cerebral artery (ICA-T) or be confined to the intracranial (ICA-I) or extracranial …

Objectives Spontaneous recanalization of a chronic total occlusion of the extra-cranial
internal carotid artery is an under-reported clinical entity. This paper reviews the different …

Background Endovascular therapy (EVT) with stent retrievers in addition to iv thrombolysis
(IVT) has proven effective in acute stroke patients with middle cerebral artery (MCA, M1 …

Background: Acute ischemic stroke caused by internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion usually
has a poor prognosis, especially the T occlusion cases without functional collaterals. The …

Background Symptomatic isolated carotid artery occlusions (ICAO) can lead to disability,
recurrent stroke, and mortality, but natural history and best therapeutic management remain …

Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, with a lack of treatments available to
prevent cell death, regenerate damaged cells and pathways, or promote neurogenesis. The …

Introduction Despite intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular treatment (EVT) have
been demonstrated effective in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusions …

Background Internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusions are poorly responsive to intravenous
thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator (IV-tPA) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Most …

Acute occlusion of the internal carotid artery is the underlying etiology in 4 to 15% of all
ischemic strokes. The clinical presentation varies considerably ranging from asymptomatic …
