Beyond the Limit: Salvaging the Posterior Circulation Territory via Late Endovascular Thrombectomy.

Introduction: Posterior circulation infarctions, particularly basilar artery occlusions, contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality in ischemic stroke. However, literature supporting mechanical thrombectomy in the posterior circulation, especially beyond the 24-h window, is limited.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 64-year-old male diagnosed with basilar artery occlusion who underwent a successful mechanical thrombectomy 11 days after symptom onset.
