E-055 Internal carotid artery reconstruction with flow diverting stents in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke: technical considerations and medical management
ConclusionsFDS appear to be a safe and effective tool for reconstruction of a symptomatic dissection in tortuous cervical ICAs. Their flexibility allows conformation to complex anatomies and they can be traversed multiple times by aspiration catheters/stentrievers. We found excellent patency at follow up. The unique challenges posed by utilization of high-profile stents in acute stroke require appropriate technical execution and medical management.Disclosures E. Orru: None. F. Bounni: None. M.

E-094 Trends in endovascular treatment of cervical artery dissections: a nationwide analysis
ConclusionsDespite an increase in the overall use of endovascular therapy for the treatment of cervical artery dissection in patients with ischemic stroke or TIA, there was no significant association with early clinical outcomes. Future studies looking at long term outcomes including stroke-recurrence are warranted.Disclosures M. Bouslama: None. C. Zhang: None. H.

A review of carotid and vertebral artery dissection
This article reviews the literature to provide practical information for clinicians to recognise key risk factors and features of history and examination which should raise suspicion of cervical artery dissection. Diagnosis can now be made using the non-invasive, commonly available modalities of computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. Timely treatment with antithrombotic agents is recommended to reduce the rate of an ischaemic stroke.PMID:35506728 | DOI:10.12968/hmed.2021.0421
