Purpose To assess the predictive value of three scoring systems based on diffusion weighted imaging in basilar artery occlusion patients after endovascular treatment. Methods We analyzed clinical and radiological data of patients with basilar artery occlusion from January 2010 to June 2019, with modified Rankin Scale of 0–2 and 3–6 defined as favorable outcome and unfavorable outcome at three months. Diffusion weighted imaging posterior circulation ASPECTS Score (DWI pc-ASPECT Score), Renard diffusion weighted imaging Score, and diffusion weighted imaging Brainstem Score were used to evaluate the early ischemic changes. Results There were a total of 88 basilar artery occlusion patients enrolled in the study after endovascular treatment, with 33 of them getting a favorable outcome. According to the analysis, the time from onset to puncture within 12 h (odds ratio: 4.34; 95% confidence interval: 1.55–12.16; P = 0.01), presence of collateral flow via PCoA (odds ratio: 0.31; 95%CI: 0.12–0.79; P = 0.01) or between PICA and SCA (odds ratio: 0.18; 95%CI: 0.07–0.47; P = 0.00), equal or less than 15 points on baseline NIHSS (area under the curve 0.79, 95% CI 0.69–0.89; sensitivity = 69.1%, specificity = 81.8%; P = 0.00), and equal or less than 1.5 points on diffusion weighted imaging Renard score (area under the curve 0.63, 95% CI 0.51–0.75; sensitivity = 83.6%, specificity = 39.4%; P = 0.046) were independently associated with favorable outcome. Conclusions Renard diffusion weighted imaging score may be an independent predictor of functional outcome in basilar artery occlusion patients after endovascular treatment.

Background: Few studies have investigated the association between plasma homocysteine (Hcy) levels in patients with recanalization after acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO). Objective: This study investigated the predictive value of Hcy on the clinical prognosis of patients with recanalization after acute BAO. Methods: Altogether, 829 participants were recruited from the standard medical treatment plus endovascular treatment group of the Acute Basilar Artery Occlusion Study (BASILAR). Hcy levels were measured the morning after admission. The primary outcome was a combination of death and major disability (modified Rankin Scale score 4-6) at 90 days, and the secondary outcome was the mortality of patients with recanalization after acute BAO within 90 days. We used multivariable logistic regression modeling to estimate the association between Hcy and prognosis in our participants at 90 days. Results: Altogether, 647 patients were assessed, and 302 patients were included in this study. The median was 12.88 μmol/L, and the mean Hcy concentration was 15.49 μmol/L. Elevated plasma Hcy levels (Hcy >12.88 μmol/L) were associated with poor functional outcomes (adjusted odds ratio 1.922, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.048-3.528], P=0.035), but not with mortality (adjusted odds ratio 1.605, 95% CI 0.986-2.489, P=0.058). In further subgroup analysis, the conclusion was consistent in all predefined subgroups. Conclusion: Our analysis suggests that elevated plasma Hcy levels have predictive value for functional outcomes in patients with recanalization after acute BAO during the 90-day follow-up period, but not for mortality.

BackgroundWe evaluated safety and efficacy of intravenous recombinant tissue Plasminogen Activator plus endovascular (bridging) therapy compared with direct endovascular therapy in patients with ischaemic stroke due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO).MethodsFrom a national prospective registry of endovascular therapy in acute ischaemic stroke, we selected patients with BAO. We compared bridging and direct endovascular therapy evaluating vessel recanalisation, haemorrhagic transformation at 24–36 hours; procedural complications; and functional outcome at 3 months according to the modified Rankin Scale. We ran logistic and ordinal regression models adjusting for age, sex, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), onset-to-groin-puncture time.ResultsWe included 464 patients, mean(±SD) age 67.7 (±13.3) years, 279 (63%) males, median (IQR) NIHSS=18 (10–30); 166 (35%) received bridging and 298 (65%) direct endovascular therapy. Recanalisation rates and symptomatic intracerebral haemorrhage were similar in both groups (83% and 3%, respectively), whereas distal embolisation was more frequent in patients treated with direct endovascular therapy (9% vs 3%; p=0.009). In the whole population, there was no difference between bridging and direct endovascular therapy regarding functional outcome at 3 months (OR=0.79; 95% CI=0.55 to 1.13). However, in patients with onset-to-groin-puncture time ≤6 hours, bridging therapy was associated with lower mortality (OR=0.53; 95% CI=0.30 to 0.97) and a shift towards better functional outcome in ordinal analysis (OR=0.65; 95% CI=0.42 to 0.98).ConclusionsIn ischaemic stroke due to BAO, when endovascular therapy is initiated within 6 hours from symptoms onset, bridging therapy resulted in lower mortality and better functional outcome compared with direct endovascular therapy.
