The clinical manifestations of proximal (extracranial) internal carotid artery occlusions
(pICAOs) may range from asymptomatic to acute, large, and devastating ischemic strokes …

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 …

Background Acute endovascular revascularization for isolated internal carotid occlusion
without tandem intracranial occlusion has been proposed to prevent early neurologic …

Background: Strokes secondary to acute internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion are
associated with an extremely poor prognosis. The best treatment approach in this setting is …

Abstract Purpose of Review Acute internal carotid artery occlusion (ICAO) is associated with
high rates of morbidity and mortality, whereas chronic ICAO can present insidiously with …

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

Background and purpose Endovascular therapy is used increasingly for treatment of acute
symptomatic internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion, although randomized trials are lacking …

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 …

Ischemic stroke due to an acute occlusion of the extracranial internal carotid artery (eICA) is
associated with high morbidity and mortality. The best treatment option remains unclear …

Emergency endarterectomy of an occluded internal carotid artery (ICA) has not been
