The limited knowledge on the outcome after a conventional treatment approach comes from a few small case series of highly selected patients. Abstract:Objective: to provide more data on the outcome of conventional treatment. Methods: Data were analysed on patients from three centres with symptomatic basilar artery occlusion treated conventionally. Conventional therapy was defined as treatment with antiplatelets, anticoagulation, or both. Results: Data were available on 82 patients. The case fatality was 40%. Among survivors, 65%remained dependent (Rankin score 4-5). Patients younger than 60 years (odds ratio = 3.1 (95%confidence interval, 1.0 to 9.5)) and those with a minor stroke (OR = 3.1 (1.0 to 9.6)) were more likely to have a good outcome (Rankin score 0-3). Patients with a progressive stroke were less likely to have a good outcome (OR = 0.3 (0.08 to 1.2)) than patients with a maximum deficit at onset or fluctuating symptoms at presentation. Conclusions: Conventional treatment of symptomatic basilar artery occlusion is associated with a poor outcome in almost 80%of patients, which emphasises the importance of the search for a more effective treatment approach.展开更多
