Background Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) remains one of the most devastating subtypes of
stroke with high mortality and poor outcome. Early recanalisation is the most powerful …

Background Stent retriever thrombectomy has recently been found to be effective for anterior
circulation strokes, but its efficacy for basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is unclear. Objective To …

The management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease, including carotid endarterectomy
(CEA), carotid stenting and medical management is performed by several specialists …

Background Acute stroke because of basilar artery occlusion (BAO) represents 1% of all
ischemic strokes. However, recanalization rates and treatment outcome for the different …

Background and purpose In contrast to anterior circulation stroke (ACS), there is no
evidence from randomized trials that mechanical thrombectomy (MT) with modern stent …

Background and Objective Early recanalization of acute posterior circulation stroke caused
by large intracranial vessel occlusion by mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers may …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute basilar occlusions have a poor prognosis without
recanalization. Many have underlying severe atherosclerotic intracranial stenosis coexisting …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Basilar artery occlusion remains one of the most
devastating subtypes of ischemic stroke. The prognosis is poor if early recanalization is not …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Mechanical thrombectomy with a stent retriever applied
shortly after symptom onset could increase good functional outcomes and improve survival …

Aims To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mechanical thrombectomy with the Solitaire FR
device in revascularization of patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (ABAO) and to …
