Impact of the Perioperative Blood Pressure on Clinical Outcome after Thrombectomy in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion

Aim: Optimal blood pressure (BP) management in vertebrobasilar circulation stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy remains undetermined. We  aimed to evaluate the impact of perioperative BP on clinical outcome after MT in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all consecutive patients hospitalized with acute basilar artery occlusion administered endovascular treatment within 24 h from Jan uary 2012 to July 2018 in Beijing Tiantan Hospital. BP was measured at regular intervals during the first 24 h after stroke onset, during and after thrombectomy.
