However, the benefit of SR thrombectomy in the setting of acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) has not been proven yet. This study evaluated a series of consecutive patients with BAO treated with SR, focusing on the efficacy, safety and clinical results.engBasilar artery occlusionthrombectomystent retrieversjournal article10.1177/1591019915609781
