Cerebral artery stump syndrome (CASS) includes carotid stump syndrome (CSS) and vertebral artery stump syndrome (VASS), leading to recurrent ischemic events.
-
2
A total of 188 patients were analyzed, with 103 cases of CSS and 85 cases of VASS, confirming the rarity of CASS as a cause of ischemic stroke.
-
3
Invasive treatments for CASS, such as carotid endarterectomy and endovascular embolization, showed significantly lower recurrence rates compared to medical treatment alone.
-
4
Anticoagulant therapy resulted in a lower recurrence rate (42.1%) compared to antiplatelet therapy (93.0%) among patients receiving medical treatment.

The study emphasizes the need for individualized diagnosis and treatment strategies for CSS and VASS to improve clinical outcomes in CASS patients.
