About this trial
A multicenter, prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of best medical management (BMM) combined with endovascular treatment (EVT) versus BMM alone in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients with large infarct cores.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
1. Age ≥18 years. 2. Symptoms and signs consistent with basilar artery ischemia. 3. Basilar artery or vertebral artery occlusion confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA), magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), digital subtraction angiography (DSA); if vertebral artery occlusion is present, it must completely obstruct blood flow to the basilar artery.
Disqualifiers
1. Pre-stroke modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score >2. 2. Factors in the target vessel that are expected to prevent completion of endovascular treatment.
