Clinical Outcomes of Mechanical Thrombectomy in Stroke Tandem Lesions According to Intracranial Occlusion Location

Tandem lesions (TLs), depict around 20% of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in patients with large vessel occlusion (LVO).1 TL are poorly represented in thrombectomy clinical trials,2 leading to uncertainty in the homogenization of the therapeutic strategy.3 Clinical benefit of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in LVO alone is clear2 and untreated AIS due to tandem occlusions generally has a poor prognosis.4 There is growing evidence about efficacy and safety of MT in TL.5,6 However, the evidence of intracranial lesion impact on endovascular treatment in TL is still lacking.
