Abstract

BACKGROUND: Both aspiration and stent retriever thrombectomy are safe and effective in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation. Little is known on the outcomes of these techniques in patients with basilar artery occlusion. This study aimed to compare clinical, technical, and safety outcomes of aspiration and stent retriever thrombectomy as first-line treatment for basilar artery occlusion in the BASICS (Basilar artery International Cooperation Study) trial.
