Transluminal Stent-assisted Angioplasty of the Intracranial Vertebrobasilar System for Medically Refractory, Posterior Circulation Ischemia: Early Results

Abstract

Recent advances in stent technology allow negotiation of the proximal posterior circulation vasculature. Although the treatment of vertebrobasilar artery stenosis with angioplasty and stenting is promising, long-term angiographic and clinical follow-up monitoring of a larger patient population is needed.
