Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is an infrequent but often fatal subtype of stroke. Predicting
outcomes and selecting patients for endovascular therapy (EVT) remains challenging …

This narrative review provides an overview of the posterior circulation and the clinical
features of common posterior circulation stroke (PCS) syndromes in the posterior arterial …

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is currently the gold standard treatment for ischemic stroke
due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). However, the evidence of clinical usefulness of MT in …

Background/aims This review examined factors that delay thrombolysis and what
management strategies are currently employed to minimise this delay, with the aim of …

Thus, although NIHSS does not accurately assess vertebrobasilar territory strokes, other
scales exist that could potentially better assess PCS patients' clinical deficits. The extended …

Background: Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) is a standard treatment for both anterior
circulation ischemic stroke (ACIS) and posterior circulation ischemic stroke (PCIS). PCIS is a …

Abstract Background Posterior Circulation Syndrome (PCS) presents a diagnostic challenge
characterized by its variable and nonspecific symptoms. Timely and accurate diagnosis is …

In 1995, the results of a landmark clinical trial by National Institute of Neurological Disorders
and Stroke (NINDS) made a paradigm shift in managing acute cerebral ischemic stroke …

Currently, with the knowledge of the role of collateral circulation in the development of
cerebral ischaemia, traditional therapeutic windows are being prolonged, with time not …

Background and purpose The long‐term outcomes and stroke recurrence after basilar artery
occlusion (BAO) are largely unknown. We aimed to assess these variables in a …
