BACKGROUND: The best treatment for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to isolated
cervical internal carotid artery occlusion (CICAO) (i.e., without associated
occlusion of the circle of Willis) is still unknown. In this study, we aimed to
describe EVT safety and clinical outcome in patients with CICAO.
METHODS: We analyzed data of all consecutive patients, included in the
Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke (ETIS) Registry between 2013 and 2020,
who presented AIS and proven CICAO on angiogram and underwent EVT. We assessed
carotid recanalization, procedural complications, National Institutes of Health
Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at 24 h post-EVT, and 3-month favorable outcome (modified
Rankin Scale, mRS ≤ 2 or equal to the pre-stroke value).
RESULTS: Forty-five patients were included (median age: 70 years; range:
62-82 years). The median NIHSS before EVT was 14 (9-21). Carotid stenting was
performed in 23 (51%) patients. Carotid recanalization at procedure end and on
control imaging was observed in 37 (82%) and 29 (70%) patients, respectively. At
day 1 post-EVT, the NIHSS remained stable or decreased in 25 (60%) patients; 12
(29%) patients had early neurologic deterioration (NIHSS ≥ 4 points). The rate
of procedural complications was 36%, including stent thrombosis (n = 7),
intracranial embolism (n = 7), and symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (n = 1).
At 3 months, 18 (40%) patients had a favorable outcome, and 10 (22%) were dead.
CONCLUSION: Our study suggests that EVT in AIS patients with moderate/severe
initial deficit due to CICAO led to high rate of recanalization at day 1, and a
40% rate of favorable outcome at 3 months. There was a high rate of procedural
complication which is of concern. Randomized controlled trials assessing the
superiority of EVT in patients with CICAO and severe deficits are needed.
