Background: Multiple case series, mostly highly selected, have demonstrated a very high
mortality following acute basilar artery occlusion. The more widespread availability and use …

Background: Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO) represents 1–
4% of all ischemic strokes. BAO results in strokes associated with a high risk of a poor …

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 …

Purpose The beneficial effect of endovascular treatment (EVT) for patients with acute basilar
artery occlusion (ABAO) remains uncertain. The purpose of the present study was to …

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 …

Background Acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is considered among the most severe
medical emergencies, with very high morbidity and mortality. The aims of this study are to …

Prognosis for patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) remains poor. Successful
revascularization is a main predictor of favorable clinical outcomes after mechanical …

Introduction: Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) causes mortality up to 90%. Methods: A total of
99 patients with BAO received either endovascular (endovascular mechanical …

Background Intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and endovascular therapy (EVT) were proven
safe and effective for anterior circulation proximal occlusions. However, the most appropriate …

Background. Acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is relatively infrequent form of acute
ischemic stroke associated with severe and persisting neurological deficit and high mortality …
