In univariate analysis, age, baseline Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), baseline National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), posterior circulation Acute Stroke Prognostic Early CT score (pc ASPECTS), preoperative intravenous thrombolysis, and mTICI2b-3 were factors affecting good prognosis. Multivariate analysis showed that shorter onset to puncture time (OR 0.069; 95% CI, 0.009-0.519; <i>p</i> = 0.009), lower NIHSS (OR 1.179; 95% CI, 1.019-1.364; <i>p</i> = 0.027), and higher pc ASPECTS (OR 0.489, 95% CI, 0.250-0.959, <i>p</i> = 0.037) were factors influencing good prognosis in this study.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>In summary, endovascular treatment for patients with acute basilar artery occlusion is safe and effective, but EVT may achieve better prognosis within 6 h of onset. The shorter time from onset to puncture at admission, lower baseline NIHSS score, and higher baseline pc-ASPECTS are factors affecting the good prognosis of patients at 90 days.</p>","PeriodicalId":16200,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigative Surgery","volume":"38 1","pages":"2442382"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142932051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
