Neuroanatomy and severity of stroke in patients with type A aortic dissection

ConclusionsStrokes associated with ATAAD are severe at presentation resulting in significant disability. One in 10 strokes is due to LVO and potentially amenable to endovascular treatment. Heterogeneity in both location and etiology of stroke makes prevention challenging. Future trials may evaluate the role of early neuroimaging and simultaneous treatment of stroke given advancements in endovascular therapy.
