Management of posterior circulation tandem occlusions in acute ischemic stroke: Recanalize the dominant vertebral artery with priority:
- a retrospective analysis of patients with ostial VA-BA tandem occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment.
- Endovascular revascularization was performed through the occluded dominant VA in 8 patients and was performed through contralateral non-dominant VA in 1 patient.
- Successful recanalization (mTICI 2b/3 grade) was achieved in all 9 patients, and 5 patients (55.5%) achieved functional independence with a mRS score of 0–2 at 90 days.
