Basilar Stenosis Reduces the Impact of Successful Recanalization on Outcome in Basilar Artery Occlusion.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence from randomized controlled trials has shown a benefit for endovascular treatment in basilar artery occlusion. We aimed to show the effect of the recanalization result on outcome and determine the role of underlying basilar stenosis in a real-world setting.

Methods

A retrospective, single-center study of patients who received endovascular treatment for basilar artery occlusion from March 2008 to June 2022 was conducted. Clinical and outcome characteristics were gathered. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to predict poor outcomes (post-treatment mRS 5 or 6). MRS shift analysis was performed.

Results

This study includes 210 patients (mean age, 71.4 years +/- 13.3 [standard deviation]; 124 men). The variables age (OR, 1.04; 95% CI
