Multimodal recanalization therapy in acute basilar artery occlusion: long-term functional outcome and quality of life.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Multimodal recanalization therapy in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion provides high recanalization rates. A substantial subset of treated patients survives with only minor or moderate functional handicap. However, long-term functional outcome and quality of life in these patients have rarely been systematically analyzed. METHODS In this monocentric retrospec...
متن کاملOptions for recanalization therapy in basilar artery occlusion.
Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a relatively infrequent but catastrophic disease with dismal natural course, carrying 85% to 95% mortality even during anticoagulant and fibrinolytic therapy if not recanalized.1,2 The disease also poses a diagnostic challenge because it often starts with transient nonspecific prodromal symptoms, whereas complete BAO precipitates a sudden or gradually progressi...

متن کاملDrip, ship, and retrieve: cooperative recanalization therapy in acute basilar artery occlusion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In acute basilar artery occlusion, intra-arterial thrombolysis or endovascular mechanical recanalization may result in higher recanalization rates than intravenous thrombolysis. However, many patients are admitted to community hospitals, where endovascular therapy is usually not readily available. We initiated a "drip, ship, and retrieve" cooperative treatment protocol in...
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...
