BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Evidence to guide patient selection for IA therapy in acute
basilar artery thrombosis is lacking. The GCS is frequently used as a selection criterion …

Background: Intra-arterial thrombolysis may reduce mortality in acute basilar artery (BA)
occlusion. We wanted to identify an easy-to-use pre-treatment MR-based predictor of clinical …

Background and Purpose—Intra-arterial thrombolysis can be used for treatment of basilar
artery occlusion. Predictors of outcome before initiation of treatment are of special interest …

Background Treatment strategies for acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) are based on case
series and data that have been extrapolated from stroke intervention trials in other …

Objective: To define predictors of recanalisation and clinical outcome of patients with acute
basilar artery occlusions treated with local intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT). Methods …

Introduction and purpose Symptomatic acute basilar thrombosis is associated with a high
mortality rate. Aggressive endovascular management has led to survival rates of 35–50 …

Acute occlusion of the basilar artery is a rare and, if left untreated, severe neurovascular
condition with a high mortality. The clinical presentation is often atypical and hence …

Background and purpose: The benefits of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in basilar artery
occlusions (BAO) have not been explored in recent clinical trials. We compared outcomes …

Importance After the many positive results in thrombectomy trials in ischemic stroke of the
anterior circulation, the question arises whether these positive results also apply to the …
