Factors Associated with 90-Day Outcomes of Patients with Acute Posterior Circulation Stroke Treated By Mechnical Thrombectomy

Early recanalization of acute posterior circulation stroke due to large intracranial vessel occlusion by mechanical thrombectomy with stent retrievers may improve the outcome of patients. However, evidence of patient selection is still lacking. The study investigated the prognostic factors of acute posterior circulation stroke due to large intracranial arterial occlusion when treated withstent retriever thrombectomy.
