Abstract

Abstract:

Objective:

To explore the safety and effectiveness of mechanical thrombectomy for posterior circulation mild stroke with vertebral basilar artery occlusion.

Methods:

Two cases of mild stroke with vertebral basilar artery occlusion were diagnosed and treated by mechanical thrombectomy, and the literature was cited to analyze the effectiveness and safety of the modified treatment.

Results:

Mechanical thrombectomy in 2 cases with vertebral basilar artery occlusion achieved good results without obvious complications.

Conclusions:

Mechanical thrombectomy for mild stroke combined with vertebral basilar artery occlusion is safe and effective. Accurate assessment of the length and location of thrombus, comprehensive measures to revascularization and prevention of distal thrombosis are the most critical therapeutic factors.

Key words: Minor stroke, Vertebrobasilar artery occlusion, Mechanical thrombectomy
