DWI-pc-ASPECT score in basilar artery occlusion: is 6 points or less always indicative of a bad outcome?

CONCLUSIONS: Even with DWI-pc-ASPECTS of 6 or less, good clinical outcome can be achieved after endovascular reperfusion therapy. Relatively mild initial symptoms and younger age can predict a better outcome in acute basilar arterial occlusion patients with DWI-pc-ASPECTS of 6 or less.
