Efficacy and procedural efficiency of mechanical thrombectomy devices in posterior circulation stroke
Aspiration achieved vessel recanalization faster than the retriever stent during mechanical thrombectomy in posterior circulation AIS. No clear improved functional outcome favored one device over another in this study. The key factors affecting functional outcomes in posterior circulation LVOs were the presence or absence of diabetes, baseline NIHSS, occlusion site of basilar artery, and TOR time.
