Basilar artery occlusion is one of the most devastating neurological conditions with high
risks of disability and mortality. Despite the overwhelming benefit of endovascular therapy …

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

Background Two recent trials demonstrated a benefit for endovascular therapy (EVT) in the
treatment of basilar artery occlusion (BAO). In light of the expected increase in the use of …

Aims New thrombectomy strategies have emerged recently. Differences between posterior
circulation stroke management via aspiration and stent retriever remain to be evaluated. We …

The aim of the present European Stroke Organisation (ESO) guideline is to provide
evidence-based recommendations on the acute management of patients with basilar artery …

BACKGROUND: Aspiration catheters (ASPs) and stentriever thrombectomy devices have
comparable safety and efficacy in anterior circulation ischemic strokes. However, there is …

The efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in patients with posterior circulation stroke has
not been proven. Two recent randomized controlled trials failed to show improved functional …

Background The best choice between first‐line aspiration and stent retriever for acute
basilar artery occlusion remains controversial. This study aims to perform a systematic …

Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) for basilar artery occlusions (BAO) is associated
with a higher rate of futile recanalization compared with anterior circulation procedures. We …

Background Whether endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is superior to standard medical
treatment (SMT) for stroke patients with acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is uncertain …
