We investigated the clinical outcome of MT in BAO and predictors of a favorable outcome.Material and MethodsA total of 104 MTs of BAO (carried out between 2010 and 2016) were analyzed. Favorable outcome as a modified Rankin scale (mRS) ≤ 2 at 90 days was the primary endpoint. The influence of the following variables on outcome was investigated: number of detectable posterior communicating arteries (PcoAs), patency of basilar tip, completeness of BAO and posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program early computed tomography score (PC-ASPECTS). Secondary endpoints were technical periprocedural parameters including symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH).ResultsThe favorable clinical outcome at 90 days was 25% and mortality was 43%. The rate of successful reperfusion, i.e. modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) ≥ 2b was 82%. Presence of bilateral PcoAs (area under the curve, AUC: 0.81, odds ratio, OR: 4.2, 2.2–8.2; p < 0.0001), lower National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) on admission (AUC: 0.74, OR: 2.6, 1.3–5.2; p < 0.01), PC-ASPECTS ≥ 9 (AUC: 0.72, OR: 4.2, 1.5–11.9; p < 0.01), incomplete BAO (AUC: 0.66, OR: 2.6, 1.4–4.8; p < 0.001), and basilar tip patency (AUC: 0.66, OR: 2.5, 1.3–4.8; p < 0.01) were associated with a favorable outcome. Stepwise logistic regression analysis revealed that the strongest predictors of favorable outcome at 90 days were bilateral PcoAs, low NIHSS on admission, and incomplete BAO (AUC: 0.923, OR: 7.2, 3–17.3; p < 0.0001).ConclusionThe use of MT for BAO is safe with high rates of successful reperfusion. Aside from baseline NIHSS and incomplete vessel occlusion, both known predictors of favorable outcome in anterior circulation events, we found that collateral flow based on the presence or absence of PcoAs had a decisive prognostic impact. 000841765 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-572$$a572 - (Dys-)function and Plasticity (POF3-572)$$cPOF3-572$$fPOF III$$x0 000841765 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKalkan, Alev$$b1 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aKabbasch, Christoph$$b2 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aAbdullayev, Nuran$$b3 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aStetefeld, Henning$$b4 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131615$$aBarnikol, Utako Birgit$$b5 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aLiebig, Thomas$$b6 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aDohmen, Christian$$b7 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)131720$$aFink, Gereon Rudolf$$b8 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aBorggrefe, Jan$$b9 000841765 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMpotsaris, Anastasios$$b10 000841765 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2232347-8$$a10.1007/s00062-017-0651-3$$n1$$p153–160$$tClinical neuroradiology$$v29$$x1869-1447$$y2019 000841765 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/841765/files/Maus2019_Article_MechanicalThrombectomyInBasila.pdf$$yRestricted 000841765 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/841765/files/Maus2019_Article_MechanicalThrombectomyInBasila.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000841765 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:841765$$pVDB 000841765 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)131720$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b8$$kFZJ 000841765 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-572$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-570$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lDecoding the Human Brain$$v(Dys-)function and Plasticity$$x0 000841765 9141_ $$y2019 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bCLIN NEURORADIOL : 2015 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000841765 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000841765 920__ $$lyes 000841765 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406$$kINM-3$$lKognitive Neurowissenschaften$$x0 000841765 980__ $$ajournal 000841765 980__ $$aVDB 000841765 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-3-20090406 000841765 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
