Severe carotid stenosis and delay of reperfusion in endovascular stroke treatment: an Interventional Management of Stroke-III study.

CONCLUSIONS Severe ipsilateral ICA stenosis was associated with a significantly longer time to reperfusion in the IMS-III trial. Although these findings may not translate directly to modern devices, this 28-minute delay in reperfusion has significant implications, raising concern over the treatment of tandem ICA stenosis and downstream large-vessel occlusion.
