Background Intra-arterial treatment is gaining importance in acute ischemic stroke, but its
role in patients with apparent occlusion of the extracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) on …

Objective A lack of visualization of the proximal internal carotid artery (ICA) on computed
tomography angiography (CTA) in acute ischemic stroke may be caused by an …

PURPOSE: The optimal treatment in the acute phase of cervical internal carotid occlusion
associated with intracranial obstruction is a matter of debate. In this study, we report our …

Background The present review investigated which findings in vascular imaging techniques
can be used to predict clinical outcome and the risk of symptomatic intracerebral …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute occlusion of the ICA is often associated with poor
outcomes and severe neurologic deficits. This study was conducted to evaluate outcome of …

Introduction Currently, there is no reliable method to differentiate acute from chronic carotid
occlusion. We propose a novel CTA-based method to differentiate acute from chronic carotid …

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

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A clinical-diffusion mismatch (CDM) among stroke patients
presenting within 12–24 hours has been correlated with neurologic deterioration and infarct …

Abstract Background and Purposes: In a case-control study in patients with acute ischemic
stroke and extracranial internal carotid artery (eICA) occlusion, thrombolytic treatment was …

Purpose: The present study investigated early recanalization rate of major occluded arteries
after tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) infusion using serial magnetic resonance …
