Outcomes of Endovascular Therapy in Young Patients with Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion: A Substudy of BASILAR Registry Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aimed to investigate clinical outcomes in young patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO) receiving endovascular therapy (EVT).

Methods

Consecutive patients with BAO within 24 h who underwent EVT from the BASILAR Registry study were enrolled. We compared clinical outcomes of young patients (aged 18-55 years) with older patients (aged > 55 years) with stroke due to BAO at 90 days and 1 year after EVT. The primary and secondary outcomes were improvement in modified Rankin scale scores (mRS) at 90 days and either favorable (mRS 0-3) or mortality at 90 days, respectively.

Results

A total of 646 patients were included, of which 152 (23.53%) were aged 18-55 years. Dyslipidemia (42.11% vs. 30.36%, p = 0.007) and good collateral circulation (60.52%
