Single-stent strategy for a dissected carotid loop in acute tandem occlusion: Technical considerations

Abstract

Managing a dissected carotid loop in tandem occlusion stroke is a challenging situation. Despite the low stroke recurrence rate after spontaneous carotid dissection, some situations may require carotid stenting.1, 2, 3 After intracranial revascularization, several complex endovascular techniques have been reported, aiming to adapt to the tortuous anatomy of the carotid and involving extensive metal coverage through telescopic stenting and flow diverters in the acute phase.4, 5, 6 In this video,
