P-010 Practice variations in addressing acute tandem carotid occlusions in emergent large vessel occlusion strokes
Conclusion
For tandem occlusions with cervical ICA involvement, acute stenting with adjunctive angioplasty, is a current prevailing practice for recanalization of the extracranial ICA. There is considerable variability in antiplatelet protocols, with a slight favoring of the administration of loading doses of aspirin and clopidogrel before stent deployment. Variability is also present for anesthesia, with general anesthesia having a significant role.
