Acute basilar thrombosis: Recanalization following intravenous thrombolysis is dependent on thrombus length.

Acute basilar thrombosis: Recanalization following intravenous thrombolysis is dependent on thrombus length.

We investigated whether thrombus length measured in Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) is predictive of the success rate of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) in acute basilar occlusion and whether recanalization can be achieved by additional mechanical endovascular thrombectomy.In 51 patients with a...
