Prognostic Structural Neural Markers of MRI in Response to Mechanical Thrombectomy for Basilar Artery Occlusion.

ABSTRACT: Objective: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has been an effective first-line therapeutic strategy for ischemic stroke. With impairment characteristics separating it from anterior circulation stroke, we aimed to explore prognostic structural neural markers for basilar artery occlusion (BAO) after MT. Methods: Fifty-four BAO patients with multi-modal magnetic resonance imaging at admission from the multicenter real-world designed BASILAR research were enrolled in this study. Features including volumes for cortical structures and subcortical regions, locations and volumes of infarctions, and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volumes were recorded from all individuals. The impact features were identified using ANCOVA and logistic analysis. Another cohort (n = 21) was further r
