ABSTRACT
The prognosis of symptomatic bilateral internal carotid artery occlusion is extremely poor. To our knowledge, there are few reports regarding the proper management of this catastrophic event. We present two cases of progressive stroke with acute internal carotid artery occlusion and contralateral chronic carotid occlusion, who were treated by urgent recanalization using stents. In two cases, complete recanalization was achieved and the clinical outcomes were favorable. We suggest that early endovascular treatment using stents may salvage the occluded vessel and may also offer a more successful clinical outcome. Further study will be necessary in order to define the proper management of this catastrophic event.
