The main methods of MT for LVO include stent retriever (SR) thrombectomy or manual aspiration thrombectomy (MAT) with a large-bore distal access catheter.
Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) techniques have evolved rapidly in an effort to improve the rate of successful recanalization for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion (LVO). Despite advances in acute ischemic stroke treatment recently, the prognosis remains poor with a high mortality rate in patients with BAO, especially in the absence of early reperfusion. Selection of MAT using a large-bore aspiration catheter for acute BAO may be a safe and effective first-line treatment method with higher first-pass recanalization rate and shorter procedure time than SR.Īcute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a rare condition, accounting for about 1% of all strokes. However, there were four cases of procedure-related subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in the SR group and one death occurred due to massive hemorrhage. There was no significant difference in the incidence of any hemorrhagic complication (6.3% vs. 38.2%, p = 0.044), and lower median number of passes (1 vs 2 p = 0.008) when compared with the SR group. 65 min p = 0.001), higher rate of first-pass recanalization (68.8% vs. The MAT group had a shorter procedure time (28 vs. Sixteen (32%) patients were treated with MAT with a large-bore aspiration catheter and 34 (68%) with a SR as the first-line treatment method.
The treatment and clinical outcomes were compared. Patients were assigned to one of two groups based on the first-line recanalization method. The records of 50 patients with acute BAO who underwent mechanical thrombectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Here we compare the results of mechanical thrombectomy using a stent retriever (SR) and manual aspiration thrombectomy (MAT) using a large-bore aspiration catheter system as a first-line recanalization method in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). We won’t be liable for any injury, damage or loss which may result.A large-bore aspiration catheter can be employed for recanalization of acute basilar artery occlusion.
