15% Recanalization Rate During Transfer in Basilar Artery Occlusion: A Missed Opportunity?
International Journal of Stroke (IJS) shared a new study on X:
”Study finds BAO recanalization during interhospital transfer for thrombectomy was associated with favorable 3-month outcome. Primary modifiable factor, yet its use remains low.”
Read the full article here.
Lately published article ”Recanalization of Basilar Artery Occlusion during Interhospital Transfer for Thrombectomy” in the International Journal of Stroke by Grace Adwane et al. sheds light on the possible opportunities with intravenous thrombolysis.
Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO) often require transfer from non-endovascular capable centers to comprehensive stroke centers for thrombectomy.
New data show that 15% of these patients achieve recanalization during transfer, which is linked to better 3-month outcomes.
However, the use of intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) — the main modifiable factor promoting recanalization — remains underutilized at referring centers.
Expanding IVT access and exploring additional recanalization therapies at the primary stroke center level could help bridge this treatment gap and improve patient outcomes.
