^aAdjusted estimates of effect were calculated using multiple regression taking the following variables into account: baseline NIHSS, baseline pc-ASPECTs, PC-CS score, puncture-recanalization time, mTICI.

^bDistal basilar artery was taken as reference.

CI, confidence interval; NIHSS, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale; OR, odds ratio; PC-CS score, posterior circulation collateral system score; pc-ASPECTS, posterior circulation Alberta Stroke Program Early Computed Tomography Score; EVT, endovascular therapy; mTICI, modified Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction.
