Abstract

Acute ischemic stroke of the posterior circulation as a result of vertebrobasilar artery occlusions is often associated with severe morbidity and mortality rates. Vertebrobasilar artery occlusion retrieval via mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is a novel treatment modality for occlusive strokes. Nevertheless, factors associated with positive outcomes have not yet been adequately investigated. Thus, the present study focused on factors associated with good prognosis following this type of treatment. The present study retrospectively analyzed a series of 17 patients with acute vertebral artery occlusions (VAOs) and basilar artery occlusions (BAOs) treated with MT. In all patients, information such as sex and age, time from admission to the onset of femoral artery access, the number of thrombi removed, the time of femoral artery access to recanalization, pre‑ and post‑operative National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, pre‑ and post‑operative thrombolysis in cerebral infarction, as well as modified Rankin scale scores were documented and analyzed. The analysis comprised of 11 patients with BAOs and 6 patients with VAOs. A recanalization rate of 70.6% was achieved with an overall good functional outcome of 58.8% at 90 days. Observationally, there was a notable improvement in outcomes when comparing the NIHSS prior to surgery with NIHSS at 1 week after the surgery. A lower NIHSS score prior to MT may be a good prognostic factor. An average time of ~5.5 h from patient admittance to recanalization with a 70.6% recanalization rate with an overall good functional outcome of 58.8% at 90 days suggested that, patients for whom the surgeries were performed within 5 h of admittance may still have hope for recanalization compared to an initial 1.5‑h average time for recanalization.
