Cerebral blood flow constitutes a critical area of interest for neurologists, neurosurgeons, and interventional radiologists as a social burden related to ischemic stroke, hemorrhagic stroke, and vasc...
Basilar artery occlusion is one of the most devastating neurological conditions with high risks of disability and mortality. Despite the overwhelming benefit of endovascular therapy (EVT) in the anter...
Thrombectomy improves outcomes in patients with basilar artery (BA) occlusion. We hypothesized that the anatomic configuration of the BA bifurcation, classified as T- or Y-shaped, may impact the outco...
In this 2-center retrospective cohort study, we included patients with stroke due to distal BA occlusion and performed blinded classification of their BA distal bifurcation as either T- or Y-shaped. T...
70 patients (mean age 66 years, 36% women) were included. 38 had T- and 32 had Y-shaped bifurcations. Baseline characteristics were similar for both groups, including demographics, onset to arterial p...
The configuration of the basilar artery does not significantly impact on recanalization success or stroke outcome in our study. Further studies are needed to confirm our observations....
The aim of this study was to present a case of basilar artery (BA) formed by persistent primitive trigeminal artery (PPTA), which was diagnosed using digital subtraction angiography (DSA)....
PPTA is a common branching variation of embryological origin. The prevalence of PPTA ranges between 0.1 and 0.6%. It has been reported that PPTA typically joins the BA proximally and supplies the supe...
No study or case report has been identified in the English literature on persistent primitive trigeminal artery serving as the sole source of blood supply to basilar artery alone....
There is no clear association between plaque distribution and postoperative complications in patients with basilar artery atherosclerotic stenosis. The aim of this study was to determine whether plaqu...
Our study enrolled patients with severe basilar artery stenosis who were scanned with high-resolution MR imaging and followed by DSA before the intervention. According to high-resolution MR imaging, p...
A total of 140 eligible patients were included in the study, with a postoperative complication rate of 11.4%. These patients were an average age of 61.9 (SD, 7.7) years. Dorsal wall plaques accounted ...
Plaques with a large burden located at the junctional segment and lateral wall of the basilar artery may increase the likelihood of postoperative complications following endovascular therapy. A larger...
Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is an uncommon event, and leads to poor outcome in an estimated 60 to 80% of patients. Two early randomized trials, BASICS and BEST demonstrated equivocal benefit of end...
The SAMMPRIS Trial concluded that medical treatment of intracranial stenosis was safer than intracranial stenting. The key reasons for a poor outcome with stenting were significantly more perioperativ...
Two randomized trials demonstrated the benefit of endovascular therapy (EVT) in patients suffering from a stroke due to a basilar artery occlusion (BAO). However, intravenous thrombolytic (IVT) use be...
We analyzed data from the Endovascular Treatment in Ischemic Stroke registry, a prospective, observational, multicenter study of acute ischemic stroke patients treated with EVT in 21 centers in France...
Among 385 patients, 243 (134 EVT alone and 109 IVT + EVT) were included after PS matching. There was no difference between EVT alone and IVT + EVT regarding good functional outcome (adjusted odd ratio...
In this PS matching analysis, EVT alone seemed to lead to similar neurological recovery than IVT + EVT, with comparable safety profile. However, given our sample size and the observational nature of t...
This is a case of a young male patient with no known prior risk factors who presented for acute-onset right-sided neurological deficits suspicious for stroke, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) ...
We aimed to investigate the effectiveness of endovascular therapy (EVT) versus intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in patients with basilar artery occlusion (BAO), based on the information of advanced imag...
We analyzed data of stroke patients with radiologically confirmed BAO within 24 hours. BAO subjects were categorized into "top-of-the-basilar" syndrome (TOBS) and other types. An initial infarct size ...
Among 474 BAO patients, 93 (19.6%) were treated with IVT prior to EVT, 91 (19.2%) were treated with IVT alone, 95 (20.0%) were treated with EVT alone, and 195 (41.1%) were treated with antithrombotic ...
The "target mismatch profile" seems to be a possible candidate selection standard of EVT for those with other types of BAO. Future studies should separate TOBS from other types of BAO, and try to use ...
