Overview

The rescue carotid stenting has recently been an additional treatment followed by mechanical thrombectomy in tandem occlusions of the anterior circulation. Nevertheless, there were few data to date that support this beneficial treatment in Asia. The investigators hypothesized that this treatment related to improvement of clinical outcomes after procedure.

Description

The anterior circulation made commonly up 70-80% of all ischemic strokes. The mechanical thrombectomy is the gold treatment standard in acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion of anterior circulation. Tandem occlusions are one of the acute lesions relating to the high poor clinical outcome rate. Besides, tandem characteristic is a challenge to perform endovascular therapy and save procedural time in the restoration blood flow to the cerebral artery territory infarction. Many studies mentioned rescue carotid stenting with two approaches (such as proximal-to-distal and distal-to-proximal) with this lesion and the intracerebral hemorrhage after the successful recanalization. However, few studies compared the pros and cons of each approach. Therefore, the investigators conducted this study to assess the roles of approaches with rescue carotid stenting in the tandem occlusions to improve clinical outcomes at 3 months.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
