Intravenous Thrombolysis Before Endovascular Treatment in Posterior Circulation Occlusions: A MR CLEAN Registry Study

Stroke Journal

These studies mainly concerned anterior circulation occlusions. All patients with a posterior circulation occlusion were included. Our results are in line with the literature on the anterior circulation. Primary outcome was a shift toward better functional outcome on the modified Rankin Scale at 90 days.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

However, there is limited evidence regarding its safety and efficacy specifically for distal aneurysms of the posterior circulation including posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA), anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA), superior cerebellar artery (SCA), and the P2 and P3 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA).

Abstract 85: One-year Outcomes After Endovascular Treatment for Posterior Circulation Tandem Occlusions: A Multicenter Experience of 249 Patients

Stroke Journal

Posterior circulation tandem occlusion was defined as stroke due to intracranial vertebral (V4), basilar, or posterior cerebral artery (PCA) occlusions, with tandem steno-occlusive lesion >70% of the extracranial vertebral artery and impaired distal flow or partial filling of the VA from collaterals.

0.80), respectively.Discussion:The CLEAR thrombectomy score provides a simple, validated means of predicting good functional outcome following late-window, anterior circulation thrombectomy using routinely acquired clinical and imaging data. However, EVT may be less effective in extreme scenarios (e.g., 0.75) and 0.74 (95% CI 0.71-0.80),
