Extracranial–intracranial bypass for Takayasu’s arteritis: A case report
Conclusion STA–MCA bypass to enhance cerebral blood flow in the setting of stroke symptoms due to Takayasu’s arteritis can serve as a bridge before definitive cardiothoracic treatment of the great vessels.

P-020 Emergent Carotid Artery Stenting with or without Intracranial Tandem Occlusion Lesions Following Carotid Endarterectomy
Conclusion Emergent endovascular evaluation in the setting of acute post CEA thrombosis is a safe and timely treatment option, with the benefit of detecting and treating embolic intracranial lesions. More investigation is necessary to define the role of immediate angiography and intervention in this rare surgical complication.

Endovascular Management and Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
This article reviews the critical role of the location of the occlusion, extent and characteristics of the occlusive thrombus on noninvasive imaging, and identification of ischemic core and salvageable tissue on perfusion imaging for proper patient selection. The advantages of stentrievers over other mechanical thrombectomy approaches are discussed and the role of the aspiration thrombectomy approach in modern clinical practice is reviewed. Finally, the implications of the results of recent randomized trials of endovascular therapy on the future of intra-arterial revascularization therapies are discussed.

Thrombolytic therapy in total mismatch with severe stroke after acute MCA-occlusion and negative DWI
Total mismatch is a recently described magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pattern in acute stroke patients with no signal changes in diffusion weighted images (DWI) and extensive hypoperfusion on perfusion weighted images (PWI). The prognostic value and importance for treatment decision based on this finding in MRI have recently been controversially discussed in patients with minor stroke . Here we report a case of a 98-year-old woman that presented with severe stroke and total mismatch in the left middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory in MRI scan and an occlusion of the proximal MCA (M1) in time-of flight MR angiography (T...
