Mechanical Thrombolysis in Ischemic Stroke Attributable to Basilar Artery Occlusion as First-Line Treatment
Stroke 37:145-150, Bergui,M.,et al, 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Mechanical recanalization was effective in half of the patients and at least as safe as local intra-arterial thrombolysis. It allowed to save r-tPA and time. Although the low success rate remains a limit, the excellent and quick anatomical recanalization obtained after successful procedures makes this approach promising.
