A novel radiological score on digital subtraction angiography predicts prognosis for acute basilar artery occlusion treated with endovascular thrombectomy: a two-center retrospective study
The BAPCOR score demonstrated significant prognostic value for predicting clinical outcomes in acute BAO patients undergoing EVT. The scoring system's superiority stems from its comprehensive assessment of both thrombus burden (vertebrobasilar segments) and posterior circulation collaterals (including primary PCoA pathways and secondary cerebellar artery anastomoses), providing enhanced characterization of hemodynamic compensatory mechanisms.
