Unraveling the Impact: The Role of Acute Carotid Stenting in Tandem Lesions on Functional Outcomes — Insights From a Multicenter Registry
The retrospective cohort study by Rodriguez Calienes et al. investigated the impact of acute carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients with tandem lesions (TL) on functional outcomes. TL were characterized by a simultaneous intracranial occlusion and an extracranial steno-occlusive internal carotid artery lesion (> 70% stenosis). These patients present a unique challenge in stroke management, tending to have poorer outcomes than patients with solitary intracranial occlusions. 1 Additionally, the role of
