Abstract | Purpose: To investigate the difference in mechanical thrombectomy (MT) outcomes between vertebrobasilar tandem occlusion (VBTO) and isolated basilar artery (BA) occlusion (non-VBTO) and the difference in rates of successful recanalization between the clean-road and dirty-road pathways, in VBTO. Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis after searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar databases as of April 2021. We only included adult patients who underwent MT to treat acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to VBTO, and the following outcomes should be reported: successful recanalization, functional outcome at 90 days, and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). The main effect size measures were odds ratio and risk difference, and the software used was RevMan 5.4. Results: The analysis included 81 VBTO and 324 non-VBTO patients (seven studies). We found no significant difference regarding 3 m functional independence [4 studies: OR = 1.71 (95% CI, 0.54, 5.43), I Conclusion: The results of this meta-analysis support the use of MT for AIS patients with VBTO. In VBTO patients, none of the clean-road or dirty-road pathways proved to be superior to the other. |
