Predictors and outcomes of angioplasty and stenting in acute intracranial atherosclerosis-related vertebrobasilar artery occlusion by Seol Bin Park, Byung Hyun Baek, Yun Young Lee, Seul Kee Kim, Chan Park, Byung Chan Lee, Hyoung Ook Kim, Woong Yoon

“…A favorable outcome was defined as a score of 0–3 on the 90-day modified Rankin Scale.ResultsOverall, successful reperfusion was achieved in 44/46 (95.7%) patients and 90-day favorable outcomes were achieved in 21/46 patients (45.7%). The 90-day mortality rate was 23.9% (11/46). In a multivariate binary logistic analysis, independent predictors of favorable outcome were hyperlipidemia (OR = 7.866, 95% CI: 1.093–56.590, p = 0.040), admission hyperglycemia (OR = 0.144, 95% CI: 0.023–0.914, p = 0.040), basilar artery occlusion (OR = 0.086, 95% CI: 0.008–0.907, p = 0.041), and treatment with angioplasty alone (OR = 9.779, 95% CI: 1.022–93.525, p = 0.048).ConclusionOur findings suggested that emergent angioplasty and/or stenting could yield high rates of successful reperfusion and favorable outcomes in patients with ICAS-related occlusions in vertebrobasilar arteries. …”
