(a) Axial diffusion-weighted image shows hyper-intense lesion involving the left cerebellum as well as pons consistent with basilar artery territory infarction. DSA images of a patient before (b) and after (c) thrombectomy. DSA of the left, dominant vertebral artery confirms proximal BAO. After thrombectomy, DSA images of the right demonstrated that recanalization of basilar artery was obtained in thrombolysis in cerebral infarction grade 2b. BAO: basilar artery occlusion, DSA: digital subtraction angiography.
