Introduction: Evidence regarding the benefit of endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to isolated cervical internal carotid artery occlusion (c-ICA-O) is lacking. We assessed the outcomes and safety of EVT in patients with isolated c-ICA-O.
Methods: Retrospective multicenter cohort study of patients with an AIS due to isolated c-ICA-O, within 24-h since last-seen-well.
Apart from life-threatening and/or functional emergencies, treatment of vascular lesions in giant cell arteritis (GCA) is medical. Revascularization may be considered if the lesion remains symptomatic or progressive despite optimal medical treatment, provided that there is no disease-related inflammation, and always managed by a team of trained experts. The main risk associated with aortic involvement (aortitis) is the development of an aneurysm, most often in the thoracic aorta, after several years of progression.

Methods And Results: All cases of ischemic CVE (including ischemic stroke and transient ischemic attack) were prospectively identified through the population-based Dijon Stroke Registry, France (2013-2020). Annual attack rates and temporal trends were assessed.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the clinical and radiological factors affecting the outcomes of acute ischemic stroke patients with isolated posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusion treated only with medical management.
- A total of 585 patients were analyzed, revealing that 56% experienced poor functional outcomes, which were linked to older age, higher NIHSS scores, larger infarct volumes, and not receiving intravenous thrombolysis (IVT).
- The research highlighted that factors like age, NIHSS score, infarct volume, and IVT status significantly influenced outcomes, while finding that complete recanalization after 24 hours improved recovery chances.
Background And Aims: Previous observational data indicate that young adults treated with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) for acute ischemic stroke have more favorable outcomes and less complications when compared to older adults. Given the limited data on this topic, we aimed to provide more evidence on clinical outcomes and safety in such patients, using a large international thrombolysis registry.
Methods: In this prospective multicenter study, we used data from the Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Patients (TRISP) registry from 1998 to 2020.
