Large vessel occlusion stroke due to underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD-
LVO) is prevalent in 10 to 30% of LVOs depending on patient factors such as vascular risk …

The last decade's progress in demonstrating the clinical benefit of endovascular
thrombectomy (EVT) in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke has transformed the …

In 1981, the dismal outcomes of patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) inspired the first
reports of intra-arterial thrombolytic treatment in BAO. These reports were among the first to …

Posterior circulation infarcts comprise approximately 25% of ischemic strokes but are less
often treated with recanalization therapy and have longer treatment delays compared with …

Background and Purpose The optimal management of patients with acute basilar artery
occlusion (BAO) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular …

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes of acute
ischemic stroke worldwide. Patients with acute large vessel occlusion due to underlying …

Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is an uncommon event, and leads to poor outcome in an
estimated 60 to 80% of patients. Two early randomized trials, BASICS and BEST …

In this review article, we aim to provide a summary of the discoveries and developments that
were instrumental in the evolution of the Neurointerventional field. We begin with …

Backgrounds Recent trials have shown improved outcomes after mechanical thrombectomy
(MT) for vertebrobasilar occlusion (VBO) stroke. However, there is a paucity of data …

This comprehensive literature review focuses on acute stroke related to intracranial
atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), with an emphasis on ICAS-large vessel occlusion. ICAS is …
