E-126 favorable baseline ct aspects and dwi brainstem imaging in acute basilar artery occlusions are poor predictors of good functional outcome

ConclusionFavorable baseline PC-ASPECTS and DWI brainstem scores were observed in acute basilar ischemic stroke patients prior to IA therapy; however, neither technique was able to predict good functional outcomes.ReferencesPuetz V, et al.
