Article Synopsis
- * Researchers analyzed data from 131 patients over 45 months, finding a low incidence (6.9%) of new ischemic events during the waiting period, with a calculated risk of 2.5 new events per 1000 patient days.
- * The findings aim to inform the timing of CAS procedures for patients with ICA stenosis, especially those with stenosis severity of 50% or greater.

Background: Acute ischemic stroke from tandem occlusion of internal carotid artery (ICA) poses a technical challenge to neurointerventionalists.
Objective: To present a novel balloon-assisted catheterization of occluded carotid artery (BOCA) technique used for rapid and effective catheterization of occluded/critically stenosed ICA in tandem occlusion.
Methods: A retrospective review of 10 patients with tandem carotid occlusion, treated with BOCA technique for revascularization between July 2020 and June 2021, was performed.
