Background Data from trials investigating the effects and risks of endovascular
thrombectomy for the treatment of stroke due to basilar-artery occlusion are limited. Methods …

Background: The authors compare the effectiveness and safety of endovascular treatment
(EVT) versus best medical management (BMM) in strokes attributable to acute basilar artery …

Background The evidence for mechanical thrombectomy in acute basilar artery occlusion

people with acute posterior circulation stroke during endovascular treatment. Only a few …

Background Recent clinical trials investigating endovascular therapy in the extended time
window have opened new treatment paradigms for patients with late‐presenting large …

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 …
