Three-Month and Long-Term Outcomes and Their Predictors in Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Treated With Intra-Arterial Thrombolysis

Abstract

In our series, intra-arterial thrombolysis as treatment of basilar artery occlusion was safe. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score at admission and age were identified as predictors of outcome, and these predictors should be considered for treatment allocation in future randomized trials.
