Objective: The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the early outcome of patients with stroke caused by basilar artery occlusion after endovascular treatment – thrombectomy. The aim was also to determine whether there are some predictors of good outcome and to compare our results with already published data. Materials and methods: We included 16 patients with proven BAO treated with thrombectomy from the Department of Neurology in University Hospital Split in the timeframe from January 2018 until December 2020. To measure the outcome of thrombectomy success and early functional outcome of patients we used TICI-score, mRS and NIHSS. This was retrospective cohort study. We revised medical records of included patients. Collected data were analyzed using statistical software MedCalc (MedCalc Software, Ostend, Belgium, version 17.4.1) Results: Most of our patients were male (68.7 %) with the median age of 72.3 years. The rate of successful reperfusions (TICI IIb-III) was 75%. We did not notice any serious side effects of treatment. No comorbidities or previous medicamentous treatment did affect the thrombectomy outcome. The early outcome – reduction of NIHSS on the discharge was significantly lower than on the admission 5.0 (0.5 - 13.75) vs 11.0 (7.0 - 20.0) respectively, P < 0.042 (Wilcoxon test). Conclusion: The thrombectomy is a safe and effective treatment modality for BAO. The neurological status of patients on the discharge is significantly better than on the admission.
