Brief summary
The potential benefit of intraarterial tenecteplase in acute basilar artery occlusion (BAO) patients with successful reperfusion following endovascular treatment (EVT) has not been studied. The current study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of intraarterial tenecteplase in acute BAO patients with successful reperfusion after EVT.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| proportion of favorable functional outcome | Day 90 | favorable functional outcome is defined as a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 to 3 |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| proportion of patients with an improved modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction score | immediately after intraarterial TNK administration or at the end of endovascular treatment | — |
| the proportion of patients with modified Rankin Score (mRS) 0 to 1 | Day 90 | mRS scores range from 0 to 6: 0, no symptoms, 1 = symptoms without clinically significant disability, 2 = slight disability, 3 = moderate disability, 4 = moderately severe disability, 5 = severe disability; and 6 = death. |
| the proportion of patients with modified Rankin Score (mRS) 0 to 2 | Day 90 | mRS scores range from 0 to 6: 0, no symptoms, 1 = symptoms without clinically significant disability, 2 = slight disability, 3 = moderate disability, 4 = moderately severe disability, 5 = severe disability; and 6 = death. |
| ordinal distribution of modified Rankin Score (mRS) | Day 90 | mRS scores range from 0 to 6: 0, no symptoms, 1 = symptoms without clinically significant disability, 2 = slight disability, 3 = moderate disability, 4 = moderately severe disability, 5 = severe disability; and 6 = death. |
| change in modified Rankin Score (mRS) compared with premorbid mRS | Day 90 | mRS scores range from 0 to 6: 0, no symptoms, 1 = symptoms without clinically significant disability, 2 = slight disability, 3 = moderate disability, 4 = moderately severe disability, 5 = severe disability; and 6 = death. |
| change in National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) | 24 (-6/+24) hours | NIHSS scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating more severe neurological deficit |
| proportion of early neurological improvement | 24 (-6/+24) hours | early neurological improvement is defined as a NIHSS decrease ≥4 |
| the percentage of severe adverse events | 24 (-6/+24) hours | — |
| the occurrence rate of composite events of recurrent stroke, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events | Day 90 | — |
| proportion of sympomatic intracranial hemorrhage | 24 (-6/+24) hours | sympomatic intracranial hemorrhage is defined as a NIHSS increase ≥4 caused by intracranial hemorrhage |
| proportion of intraparenchymal hemorrhage | 24 (-6/+24) hours | intraparenchymal hemorrhage was defined as confluent bleeding occupying and causing mass effect |
| cerebral edema | 24 (-6/+24) hours | cerebral edema was measure by the mount of midline shift of the brain on neuroimaging |
| all-cause mortality | 10 days | — |
| the number of tenecteplase infusions interrupted due to suspected active bleeding | during endovascular treatment (up to 2 hours) | — |
