Thrombus enhancement as a predictor of embolic in acute basilar artery occlusion

Abstract Thrombus enhancement sign (TES) is a potential imaging biomarker for differentiating embolic large vessel occlusion (embo-LVO) from intracranial atherosclerosis-related LVO (ICAS-LVO) in basilar artery occlusion (BAO). This study evaluates the association between TES and BAO etiology and it...
