SEBES score
Pronunciation: SEE-bez
Also written as: SEBES — Self-Expanding Basal Embolic Stroke
A scoring system for predicting successful recanalization in acute stroke patients undergoing mechanical thrombectomy.
Full Definition
The Self-Expanding Basal Embolic Stroke score is a predictive tool that combines clinical and imaging factors to estimate the likelihood of successful recanalization during mechanical thrombectomy. The score incorporates factors such as clot location, collateral status, time from onset, and patient age. Higher SEBES scores correlate with better recanalization rates and functional outcomes following endovascular treatment.
Usage
Usage note: Emerging scoring system; specify components when documenting
In Context
- "Pre-procedural SEBES score of 8 predicted high likelihood of successful recanalization." — Thrombectomy planning
- "The patient's SEBES score guided the decision for aggressive endovascular intervention." — Stroke team discussion
Don't confuse with
