Predictors and outcomes of angioplasty and stenting in acute intracranial atherosclerosis-related vertebrobasilar artery occlusion
Our findings suggested that emergent angioplasty and/or stenting could yield high rates of successful reperfusion and favorable outcomes in patients with ICAS-related occlusions in vertebrobasilar arteries. Our study also demonstrated that hyperlipidemia and treatment with angioplasty alone were associated with favorable outcomes, in contrast, admission hyperglycemia and basilar artery occlusion were associated with unfavorable outcomes in these patients.
