The Arch of Aorta

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Summary

Basilar artery occlusion, a severe stroke type, has a high mortality rate. This registry collected data on 400 patients, revealing a 45% mortality, informing future stroke treatment trials.

Neurology

Background:

Basilar artery occlusion (BAO) is a rare but devastating stroke subtype.
High case fatality rates and poor outcomes are characteristic of BAO.
Existing data on BAO outcomes are limited to small, selected patient series.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a prospective registry (BASICS) for collecting data on basilar artery occlusion.
To gather preliminary data to guide the design of future clinical treatment trials for BAO.
To enroll a target of 500 patients in the international registry.

Main Methods:

The BASICS registry is a prospective, observational, multi-center, international study.
Consecutive patients with symptomatic and radiologically confirmed basilar artery occlusion were enrolled.
Data collection occurred from November 2002 to December 2006.

Main Results:

Data were collected from 400 patients across 42 centers in 12 countries.
Intra-arterial (IA) therapy was the most common treatment (55%), followed by antithrombotics (29%) and IV thrombolysis (6%).
The overall mortality rate observed in the study cohort was 45%.

Conclusions:

The BASICS registry provides valuable real-world data on basilar artery occlusion.
The high mortality rate underscores the severity of this condition.
Findings will inform the development of more effective treatment strategies and clinical trials for BAO.
