Reperfusion treatment in basilar artery occlusion presenting with mild symptoms
In early-treated BAO patients with mild symptoms, defined as NIHSS 0-10, there were no significant differences in outcomes between EVT ± IVT and IVT alone. However, for very mild symptoms, defined as NIHSS 0-5, IVT alone was associated with better outcomes compared to EVT ± IVT.<b>Conclusion:</b> Randomized trials are crucial to determine the optimal reperfusion therapy for BAO patients with mild symptoms.
