Mechanical thrombectomy for acute stroke due to basilar artery occlusion (October 2022): Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is well established for treating acute ischemic stroke caused by a large artery occlusion in the anterior circulation, but the benefit for posterior circulation stroke is uncertain. The recent ATTENTION and BAOCHE randomized trials from China provide moderate-quality evidence that MT plus medical therapy, compared with medical therapy alone, is beneficial for selected patients with moderate to severe stroke caused by a basilar artery occlusion who can be treated within 24 hours of onset.
