These guidelines will be updated every four years. Vascular centres are encouraged to audit
implementations made as a result of the guidelines. Audit cycles should be repeated and …

The reported incidence of persistent hypoperfusion despite complete recanalization as
surrogate for impaired microvascular reperfusion (IMR) has varied widely among clinical …

Mechanical thrombectomy is a ground breaking treatment for acute ischaemic stroke caused
by occlusion of a large vessel. Its efficacy over intravenous thrombolysis has been proven in …

Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of carotid artery stenting for the treatment of
extracranial carotid artery dissection (CAD). Data Sources Systematic review using Medline …

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by tandem intracranial and extracranial
occlusions is not rare. However, optimal strategy between antegrade (extracranial first) or …

Background: Carotid tandem lesions ((TL)⩾ 70% stenosis or occlusion) account for 15–20%
of acute stroke with large vessel occlusion. Aims: We investigated the safety and efficacy of …

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 …

Background: CT perfusion (CTP) is used in patients with anterior circulation acute ischemic
stroke (AIS) for predicting the final infarct volume (FIV). Tandem occlusion (TO), involving …

Background Advanced perfusion modalities are increasingly popular for various diseases.
However, few studies have focused on contrasting perfusion patterns. Objective This study …
