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 ...

Two separate vertebral arteries, which from the basilar artery, feed in this region. Over time, atherosclerosis causes plaque buildup leading to a blockage of the two arteries. A complete blockage or ...

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 ...

The term proatlantal intersegmental artery was first used by Padget after a detailed discussion of the discrepancies of the nomenclature in the embryonic arteries. 2, 3 These anatomic embryological ...

Patients were eligible for inclusion in the trial if they were 18 to 80 years of age; had an occlusion of the basilar artery or intracranial segments of both vertebral arteries that could be ...

Persistent occlusion of the basilar tip and the right PCA (Figure 3B) was confirmed by direct vertebral sheath injection (Figure 3B). A five-French aspiration catheter (SOFIA) was wirelessly advanced ...
