Endovascular treatment should be cautiously considered for acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion patients with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score <7
EVT should be cautiously considered in acute VBAO patients with an NIHSS score <7. Decisions require weighing baseline function, imaging features, and vascular anatomy. In the future, predictive models for EVT may enable more precise patient selection.
