Intravenous thrombolysis before thrombectomy in acute ischemic stroke: a dual centre retrospective cohort study.

First pass effect (FPE) is a successful recanalization (mTICI ≥ 2b) after the first trial of thrombectomy. It is associated with good functional outcomes. Few studies discussed the effect of BT (bridging therapy: combined I.

Basilar Artery Thrombectomy Between Evidence-Based Medicine and the Real-World Practice: A Single-Center Experience.

Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has been approved as an intervention in large vessel occlusion of anterior circulation, based on multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and meta-analyses. Even though two RCTs appeared recently, there is still uncertainty about the effect of MT in BAO.
