This device is called a stent. Death or major disability is the result of occlusion of large vessels in the vertebrobasilar system. In 2009, it was shown that there is a higher percentage of 50% or more stenosis in PCI versus ACI patients (26% vs. 11.5), which in concert with a high recurrence rate in PCI, demanded endovascular consideration. BACKGROUND: Vertebral artery origin stenosis is a known cause of stroke that is treatable with angioplasty and stenting. crease in the in-stent stenosis. According to stenting of carotid stenosis (see Treatment, p. 103), vertebral artery stenting should be preceded by dual antiplatelet therapy, e.g., 100 mg aspirin + 4 x 75 mg clopidogrel the day before the intervention and platelet aggregometry (Multiplate) performed on the day of the intervention. The extracranial vertebral artery is affected by several pathological processes that cause stroke. Choose a doctor and schedule an appointment.

We report a case of basilar artery stenosis that was treated using stent- assisted angioplasty. Carotid artery stenosis, vertebral artery stenosis and intracranial artery stenosis are all caused by fatty deposits and cholesterol sticking to the artery walls. How do you repair vertebral artery stenosis? During cervical artery dissection (CAD), arterial blood enters the blood vessel wall through the damaged carotid intima, which separates the intimal and media layers. Some cases of subclavian steal syndrome involve retrograde blood flow in the vertebral artery. The vertebral arteries are located at the back of the neck and merge at the base of the brain to form the basilar artery.
