Multimodal Therapy for Non-Superacute Vertebral Basilar Artery Occlusion
Conclusion: For patients with posterior circulation stroke due to basilar artery or vertebral artery occlusion who present to the hospital 6 h after symptom onset and who exhibit deterioration of symptoms after drug treatment, multimodal recanalization of the occluded artery may be a feasible and safe therapy.Intervent Neurol 2017;6:254-262

Endovascular Revascularization for Basilar Artery Occlusion
Basilar artery occlusion is one of the most devastating neurological conditions known to man. Though rare, patients with clinical syndromes localized to this anatomical region are often referred to acute stroke and endovascular units. Recent studies evaluating the efficacy of endovascular approaches to stroke have focused on anterior circulation syndromes. In this review, we examine the approaches to stroke syndromes due to basilar artery thrombosis. We share the relevant data for intravenous and intra-arterial tissue plasminogen activator as well as mechanical approaches to restoring perfusion in this critical area of the...
