We reviewed the recent literature regarding clinical presentation of acute and chronic cases of ICAO, and discuss the current data, accepted guidelines, and prospects. Surgical, endovascular, or a combination (hybrid) revascularization has been shown to be effective in recanalization with improved functional outcomes in patients with ICAO in comparison to systemic thrombolysis or medical therapy alone. Future prospective or randomized clinical trials are warranted to elucidate the procedural superiority for revascularization of patients with ICAO.
