Intravenous thrombolysis versus endovascular thrombectomy in acute basilar artery occlusion—A multicenter cohort study
In this study, patients with BAO had better outcome after IVT than EVT ± IVT independent of symptom severity and time from onset. Although the non-randomized design of the study warrants caution, the results encourage further trials comparing EVT and IVT to guide recanalization therapy in BAO patients.Data access statement:Anonymized data are available upon reasonable request to the corresponding author following the national legislation.
