Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion: Does Recanalization Improve Clinical Outcome? A Critically Appraised Topic

Conclusions: IVT is the standard of care for BAO patients presenting within 4.5 hours of symptom onset, whereas recanalization is associated with better outcomes regardless of how recanalization is achieved. Randomized controlled trials comparing IVT plus endovascular treatment versus IVT in the treatment of acute BAO are needed to provide evidence-based management guidance.
