Trial of Endovascular Treatment of Acute Basilar-Artery Occlusion.

TL;DR: In a trial involving Chinese patients with basilar-artery occlusion, approximately one third of whom received intravenous thrombolysis, endovascular thrombectomy within 12 hours after stroke onset led to better functional outcomes at 90 days than best medical care but was associated with procedural complications and intracerebral hemorrhage.

Endovascular treatment for acute basilar artery occlusion: A multicenter randomized controlled trial (ATTENTION)

TL;DR: The investigator-initiated ATTENTION will provide evidence for the efficacy and safety of EVT in stroke patients within 12 h after BAO, with a modified Rankin Score of 0–3 at day 90.

A Randomized Trial of Intraarterial Treatment for Acute Ischemic Stroke

TL;DR: In patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by a proximal intracranial occlusion of the anterior circulation, intraarterial treatment administered within 6 hours after stroke onset was effective and safe.

Endovascular Therapy for Ischemic Stroke with Perfusion-Imaging Selection

TL;DR: In patients with ischemic stroke with a proximal cerebral arterial occlusion and salvageable tissue on CT perfusion imaging, early thrombectomy with the Solitaire FR stent retriever, as compared with alteplase alone, improved reperfusion, early neurologic recovery, and functional outcome.

Basilar artery occlusion

TL;DR: If BAO is recognised early and confirmed with multimodal CT or MRI, intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular treatment can be undertaken, however, the best treatment approach to improve clinical outcome still needs to be ascertained.
