Clinical Trial: Endovascular Therapy for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion With Large Ischemic Core

U.S., June 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07672795) titled 'Endovascular Therapy for Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion With Large Ischemic Core' on June 23.

Brief Summary: Acute basilar artery occlusion is associated with high mortality and severe disability. Previous randomized trials have demonstrated the benefit of endovascular therapy in selected patients with basilar artery occlusion; however, patients with large ischemic core, commonly defined by low posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (pc-ASPECTS), remain underrepresented and the benefit-risk profile of endovascular therapy in this subgroup is uncertain.
