About this trial

Early identification of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) may impact the management of patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy (MT). The aim of the study is to develop and validate a scoring system for pre-thrombectomy diagnosis of ICAD in posterior circulation large vessel/distal medium vessel occlusion strokes (LVOs/DMVOs).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Adult ≥18 years

Patient with posterior circulation strokes who underwent mechanical thrombectomy.

Disqualifiers

Patients with anterior circulation stroke.

Patients with intracranial hemorrhage

Patients without baseline radiological data.

Extracranial large vessel atherosclerosis related strokes.
