Mechanical Thrombectomy in Basilar Artery Thrombosis: Technical Advances and Safety in a 10-Year Experience

Purpose Multiple endovascular devices have been used for mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) for >10 years. Based on a single-center experience during the course of one decade, we present data on safety and efficacy of previous MT devices compared with modern stent retriever and suction thrombectomy.
