Successful recanalization in acute basilar artery occlusion treated with endovascular therapy is independent of thrombus length
Conclusions
Successful recanalization does not depend on thrombus length in patients with BAO treated with EVT. Recanalization can therefore be achieved despite high clot burden. Additionally, a high density of thrombi was a strong predictor of a favorable outcome.
