Answer : Yes
In view of major vessel occlusion and presentation within window period
Thrombectomy might be considered the standard of care for eligible patients with acute basilar artery occlusion, despite the lack of a published randomized controlled trial to date.
This could provide a high rate of successful reperfusion (91.5%) and a high rate of favorable outcomes (44.8%) in patients with acute basilar artery occlusion.
