View clinical trials related to Tandem Occlusion.
Filter by:1. To evaluate whether stent implantation on the ipsilateral extracranial segment, after intracranial thrombectomy successful recanalization compared with balloon angioplasty (eTICI≥2b_50) for acute anterior circulation tandem lesions within 24h of onset, can improve neurological functional outcomes(mRS≤2). 2. To evaluate whether stent implantation on the ipsilateral extracranial segment, after intracranial thrombectomy successful recanalization compared with balloon angioplasty (eTICI≥2b_50) for acute anterior circulation tandem lesions within 24h of onset, can increase the risk of symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Tandem occlusion is defined by an acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with concomitant steno-occlusive disease of the extra cranial carotid artery and concerned about 10% of AIS patients. Whereas endovascular treatment has shown its efficiency in AIS by large vessel occlusion (LVO), to date, there is no consensus on the endovascular management of the extra cranial carotid artery in tandem occlusion. Only few of them were included in previous randomized trials who evaluated mechanical thrombectomy and were often listed in the non-inclusion criteria. Therapeutic management of this population was not specifically addressed in recent trials. Endovascular management can be complex with the need of acute stenting of the extra cranial carotid lesion along with the potential need of antithrombotic therapy initiation, the benefit and the safety of stenting of the cervical lesion in acute phase of AIS have shown encouraging results but however remains to be assessed. The TITAN (Thrombectomy In TANdem lesion) trial aims to demonstrate the superiority of the combined use of intracranial thrombectomy and extracranial carotid stenting compared to intracranial thrombectomy alone on the complete reperfusion rate in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to tandem lesion.
