Endovascular Treatment of Stroke Caused by Carotid Artery Dissection

Abstract: Ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) is a devastating condition. Most LVOs are embolic in nature. Arterial dissection is responsible for only a small proportion of LVOs, is specific in nature and poses some challenges in treatment. We describe 3 cases where patients with stroke caused by carotid artery dissection were treated with mechanical thrombectomy and extensive stenting with good outcome. We believe that mechanical thrombectomy and stenting is a treatment of choice in these cases.

“…1,3,4 Atherosclerotic lesions which process is the main cause occlusion of the large arteries occur more easily in individuals with risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking. 1,4,5 In this process, endothelial blood vessel damage results in oxidation and release of inflammatory mediators. 1,6 Currently, there is increasing evidence that the mechanism of inflammation plays a role in the development and progression of ischemic stroke.…”

“…Blood flow restoration in the occluded vessel can be obtained mechanically through three main methods: using a stent retriever, aspiration catheters and combining both these methods. Many trials comparing those techniques have proven the equality of SO and CM, and many have demonstrated the superiority of CM over AO and SO [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ]. Of the two recent network meta-analyses, both suggested CM to be superior in terms of technical efficacy with similar safety and clinical outcomes compared to AO and SO [ 10 , 11 ].…”
