PCCS modified the effect of recanalization on functional outcome, particularly in patients with less pronounced ischemic changes in admission computed tomography. These results should be validated to improve patient selection for endovascular treatment in basilar artery occlusion, particularly in uncertain indications, or to triage patients at risk for very poor outcomes.
