Atheroma is the most common arterial disorder and atheromatous plaques most commonly form at the origin of internal carotid arteries, origin of

The atherosclerotic plaque component and remodeling of 
basilar artery, which are similar with coronary plaque (5), and the distribution of the plaque play a vital role in patients' treatment decision-making (6).
In our study, we excluded patients with occlusion in a large vessel other than isolated MCA such as 
basilar artery, terminal or tandem ICA and MCA because endovascular treatment was performed alone or following IV rt-PA in such occlusions, which could contribute to a higher rate in our study.
Foetal type posterior communicating artery (FTPcomA) was considered when the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) originated from the ipsilateral internal carotid artery (ICA) instead of the 
basilar artery with diameter greater than the ipsilateral pre-communicating segment (P1) of the PCA.12 Vessel arising from ICA with equal or smaller diameter than the ipsilateral P1 of the PCA were classified as PcomAs.12 COW was then classified as complete, partially complete and incomplete configuration.
