Management of posterior circulation tandem occlusions in acute ischemic stroke: Recanalize the dominant vertebral artery with priority.
Article in Interventional neuroradiology : journal of peritherapeutic neuroradiology, surgical procedures and related neurosciences, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo illustrate the characteristics of acute ostial vertebral artery (VA) and basilar artery (BA) tandem occlusions. The endovascular treatment strategy for ostial VA-BA tandem occlusion was reported. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of patients with ostial VA-BA tandem occlusion who underwent endovascular treatment in our center between November 2018 and February 2022. We preferred to recanalize the dominant vertebral artery with priority. The imaging characteristics, treatment strategy, clinical outcomes, and complications were analyzed.
resultsIn total, 9 patients with ostial VA-BA tandem occlusion were enrolled in this study. All the VA-BA tandem occlusion was caused by acute occlusion of the dominant VA. 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.
conclusionsIn this case series, the occurrence of ostial VA-BA tandem occlusions was mainly caused by acute occlusion of the dominant VA. Endovascular revascularization of ostial VA-BA tandem occlusions through occluded dominant VA was feasible and recommended.
