Endovascular treatment of acute arteriosclerotic vertebrobasilar occlusion: A single center experience.
Article in The neuroradiology journal, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesFew experiences on vertebrobasilar occlusion over underlying intracranial atherosclerotic disease have been reported in literature and the optimal strategy on how to perform a mechanical thrombectomy is unclear. The aim of this paper is to bring our experience based on patients admitted with acute vertebrobasilar occlusion with underlying atheromatous lesions. MATERIALS AND
methodsSeveral data were collected from August 2009 to October 2022 including clinical history, pre- and post-treatment neurological objectivity, diagnostic images and angiographic procedural images, and clinical outcome at 6 months. We selected 13 patients from August 2009 to October 2022, 12 men and 1 woman, aged 40 to 82 years (mean age, 62.6 years).
resultsMechanical thrombectomy with a thromboaspiration was performed in all patients as beginning of the procedure. In three patients, the procedures resulted in excellent angiographic result and clinical outcome, while in three patients, we observed a failure of the procedural and clinical outcome. For residual intracranial stenosis in three patients, an angioplasty was performed obtaining an ischemic area related to the posterior circulation. In four patients, a stent was placed, in three patients, we obtained a good clinical outcome with a mRS between 0 and 2, while one treatment resulted in death, probably due to a late endovascular treatment.
conclusionsEndovascular treatment with stent deployment appears to result in an excellent outcome in patients with occlusion of the vertebrobasilar circulation in cases of occlusion on atheromatic plaque. The degree of residual stenosis after thrombospiration can significantly affect subsequent type of treatment.
