Figure 4. Digital subtraction angiography with early and late phase demonstrating (A) left subclavian artery occlusion with (B) retrograde vertebral filling of proximal subclavian artery.

Expert Rev Cardiovasc Ther. 2010;8(9):1275-1282. Finally, we examined our own experience with a 9-year follow-up of primary stenting, which is one of the longest to date. A total of 91 patients ...

The left vertebral artery and the LIMA originate from the left subclavian artery and the presence of the subclavian artery stenosis may cause insufficient, even retrograde blood flow in these vessels, ...

Objective The study was designed to investigate if vascular occlusion in the internal carotid artery (ICA) or the contralateral vertebral artery (VA) contribute to developing in-stent restenosis (ISR) ...

Moreover, a systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2021 quantified the overall risk of vertebral artery injury during posterior C1-C2 fusion procedures, reporting a modest yet clinically ...

Beyond BHS, vertebral artery disorders encompass a wider range of vascular anomalies – both congenital and acquired – that can predispose individuals to posterior circulation ischaemia.

Among patients with moderate peripheral artery disease, GLP-1 use was associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular and limb events and mortality, researchers reported at the Society for ...

Vertebral artery stump syndrome is a rare but treatable cause of recurrent posterior strokes, 1 – 3 with key mechanisms including stagnant blood flow leading to thrombus formation, propagation of ...

Learn about vasospasm—a sudden artery narrowing that can affect the brain, heart, and extremities. Explore its causes, symptoms, and effective treatments.

Nasser et al. reported a very interesting case of an 82-year-old asymptomatic female with an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA) which was treated clinically. 1 In fact, according to recent ...

Vertebrobasilar junction fenestration is considered to be a subtype of fenestration of the proximal basilar artery, which has been described only in autopsy cases. The fenestration associated with a ...

Background Different endovascular modalities have been applied to the treatment of vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms, the most commonly used being internal trapping and stent-assisted coiling, ...
