Vertebral Basilar Angiogram. (Left) lateral view; (Right) AP view. This study was performed by injecting contrast into the right vertebra artery, which is well opacified. There is also some retrograde ...

A middle aged patient presented with acute ischemic stroke due to basilar artery occlusion. The patient clinically deteriorated despite intravenous thrombolysis and was referred for mechanical ...

A double overlapping reverse Y-stent approach to creating flow diversion using traditional open-cell stent technology was evaluated as a treatment option symptomatic fusiform basilar aneurysms. A ...

Objectives: The diameters of the vertebral arteries (VAs) are very often unequal. Therefore, this study investigated if unequal VA flow contributes to the development of basilar artery (BA) curvature ...

These arteries unite at the base of the brain to form the basilar artery, and in a healthy person they supply up to 20% of the brain’s blood. Normally, the blood in the vertebral arteries flows ...

Vertebral artery occlusions fall under the umbrella of Vertebrobasilar Disease (VBD), otherwise known as Vertebrobasilar Insufficiency (VBI). The condition is defined by inadequate blood flow to the ...

Basilar Artery Stenosis: Cerebral angiogram of the left vertebral / basilar artery; (Left) AP view; Baseline film; (Right) Post-angioplasty film. Note the severe proximal basilar artery stenosis which ...

Her admission National Institute of Health Stroke Scale score was 12; subsequent computed tomography angiography showed basilar artery occlusion and persistent PPA arising from the left external ...

The effects and risks of endovascular thrombectomy 6 to 24 hours after stroke onset due to basilar-artery occlusion have not been extensively studied.
