ABSTRACT
Aortic dissection is one of the causes of acute ischemic stroke. Endovascular recanalization therapy (EVT) has emerged as an essential treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large artery occlusion. However, it is rarely performed in the situation of hidden aortic dissection (AD). Two patients presented to the emergency room with focal neurologic deficits. The first patient was diagnosed with right internal carotid artery (ICA) occlusion. Angiography revealed that the ICA was occluded by the dissection flap. After a stent deployment in the proximal ICA, the antegrade flow was restored. The patient was diagnosed with AD on chest computed tomography (CT) after EVT. For the second patient, intraarterial thrombectomy was performed to treat left middle cerebral artery occlusion. AD was first detected on echocardiography, which was performed after EVT. Herein, we report successful endovascular recanalization therapy performed in two patients with acute ischemic stroke in the situation of undiagnosed aortic dissection. We also reviewed previous case reports and relevant literature.
