Neuroimaging Predictors of Clinical Outcome in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Certain early neuroimaging findings are independent predictors of clinical outcome in acute basilar artery occlusion. These imaging findings may serve as important baseline imaging characteristics as well as subgroups in future randomized controlled trials. The purpose of this review is to review and compare early neuroimaging findings seen on non-invasive cranial imaging that predict clinical outcome in acute basilar artery occlusion.

Predictors of Good Outcome After Stent-Retriever Thrombectomy in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Factors related to prognosis after a modern mechanical thrombectomy in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion remain unclear. This study investigated the prognostic factors for patients with acute basilar artery occlusion who underwent a stent-retriever thrombectomy. METHODS We analyzed clinical and pretreatment diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data in 50 consecut...
متن کاملThree-month and long-term outcomes and their predictors in acute basilar artery occlusion treated with intra-arterial thrombolysis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Intra-arterial thrombolysis can be used for treatment of basilar artery occlusion. Predictors of outcome before initiation of treatment are of special interest. METHODS From 1992 to 2010, we treated 106 consecutive patients with basilar artery occlusion with intra-arterial thrombolysis. Baseline characteristics, treatment, clinical course, and 3-month and long-term outc...
متن کاملEndovascular revascularization of chronic symptomatic vertebrobasilar occlusion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acute basilar artery occlusion is associated with a high risk of stroke, mortality, and poor outcome in survivors. Timely vessel revascularization is critical to improve the clinical outcome in this condition. A subset of patients survives acute occlusion with mild or no disability and some of these individuals develop recurrent ischemic events despite optimal medical the...

OBJECTIVE To define predictors of recanalisation and clinical outcome of patients with acute basilar artery occlusions treated with local intra-arterial thrombolysis (IAT). METHODS Vascular risk factors, severity of the neurological deficit graded by the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), and radiological findings were recorded at presentation. Outcome was measured using the ...
متن کاملNeurologic Examination at 24 to 48 Hours Predicts Functional Outcomes in Basilar Artery Occlusion Stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Accurate long-term outcome prognostication in basilar artery occlusion strokes may guide clinical management in the subacute stage. We determine the prognostic value of the follow-up neurological examination using the National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and identify 24- to 48-hour NIHSS risk categories in basilar artery occlusion patients. METHODS Partici...
