Patients had chronic comorbidities such as hypertension (78, 75.7%), diabetes mellitus (32, 31.10%), and cardiac disease (12, 11.7%). 38 (36.9%) had a history of smoking, and 23 (22.3%) had a history of drinking. The rate of overall intraoperative complication was 10.7% (11\/103). Multivariate analysis showed that stump morphology, smoking history, duration from last neurologic event (longer than 6 months or not), age, NLR were significantly associated with successful recanalization. According to the coefficients of the prediction model, the technical success rates were 100, 66.7 and 11.1% in patients with \u22646, 6\u201310, \u226510 points, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The morphology of occluded stumps, duration from last neurologic event, age, smoking history and NLR can be used to predict the outcome of vascular recanalization.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fneur.2025.1453841","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,11]],"date-time":"2025-04-11T04:10:42Z","timestamp":1744344642000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Endovascular recanalization of symptomatic chronic cerebral artery occlusion: predictors for successful recanalization and perioperative complications"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Xueqian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kuochang","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhiwei","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yidian","family":"Fu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qishuo","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guodong","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peiyuan","family":"Lv","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"521","DOI":"10.1136\/jnnp.2010.208330","article-title":"Symptomatic internal carotid artery occlusion: a long-term follow-up study","volume":"82","author":"Persoon","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"228","DOI":"10.1159\/000047708","article-title":"Outcome in patients with symptomatic occlusion of the internal carotid artery or intracranial arterial lesions: a meta-analysis of the role of baseline characteristics and type of antithrombotic treatment","volume":"12","author":"Klijn","year":"2001","journal-title":"Cerebrovasc Dis"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1055","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.280.12.1055","article-title":"Importance of hemodynamic factors in the prognosis of symptomatic carotid occlusion","volume":"280","author":"Grubb","year":"1998","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e38","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000350","article-title":"Heart disease and stroke Statistics-2016 update: a report from the American Heart Association","volume":"133","author":"Mozaffarian","year":"2016","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"158","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1747-4949.2006.00045.x","article-title":"Global burden of intracranial atherosclerosis","volume":"1","author":"Wong","year":"2006","journal-title":"Int J Stroke"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"31","DOI":"10.3988\/jcn.2005.1.1.31","article-title":"New England Medical Center posterior circulation stroke registry II.
