Mortality without treatment shows the highest rate among all ischemic stroke subtypes. In most cases acute thrombosis coexists with an atherosclerotic stenosis therefore treatment of both pathologies during one intravascular intervention is required quite often. Patients who underwent successful recanalization of the basilar artery have lower mortality rate. Considering all published reports, mortality for not restored blood flow in this artery is 87% vs 39% for successful recanalization. The clinical case of a successfully treated patient with an acute occlusion of a basilar artery using of a mechanical thrombectomy with angioplasty and stenosis stenting which was a reason for arterial occlusion development is presented in this article.
