Basilar artery occlusion may be associated with a poor prognosis in the absence of recanalization. Choices in aggressive treatment for this potentially fatal condition vary from intra-arterial or intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular removal, or a combination of the two, with adjunct anti-coagulation therapy.

متن کاملEndovascular revascularization for basilar artery occlusion.
Basilar artery occlusion is one of the most devastating neurological conditions known to man. Though rare, patients with clinical syndromes localized to this anatomical region are often referred to acute stroke and endovascular units. Recent studies evaluating the efficacy of endovascular approaches to stroke have focused on anterior circulation syndromes. In this review, we examine the approac...
متن کاملRecanalization treatments in basilar artery occlusion—Systematic analysis
Background and aims: Basilar artery occlusion is a most devastating form of stroke, and the current practice is to reverse it with revascularization therapies. Pharmacological thrombolysis, intravenous or intraarterial, has been adjuncted or replaced with invasive, endovascular thrombectomy procedures. The preferred approach remains unknown and many recanalizations are futile with no clinical b...
