Vertebral artery hypoplasia is not currently considered an independent risk factor for stroke.
Emerging evidence suggest that vertebral artery hypoplasia may contribute to posterior …

Purpose The purpose was to evaluate if patients with partial and full fetal-type posterior
cerebral artery (PCA) could be more prone to lead to ischemic strokes on multislice …

Fetal‑type posterior cerebral artery (FTP) is a common anatomic variation that is closely
associated with intracranial aneurysm. In the present study, multislice computed tomography …

Introduction The basilar artery is one of the two cases in our body where an arterial vessel is
formed by the union of two others–the vertebral arteries. It provides vascular supply to …

Aim: Unilateral vertebral artery hypoplasia is considered a risk factor for posterior circulation
infarction. Despite the increasing attention on unilateral vertebral artery hypoplasia, few …

Purpose Vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) is a common congenital anatomical variation. In
previous reports, it was unclear whether VAH was an independent risk factor for posterior …

Background The role of vertebral artery hypoplasia (VAH) in stroke pathophysiology is still
debated. In this study, we correlated extra-and intra-cranial vertebral artery ultrasound …

Objective: To investigate the regulatory mechanism of micro ribonucleic acid (miR)-21 in the
formation and rupture of intracranial aneurysm through the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) …

Background Antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (ASCP) with systemic moderate
hypothermia is routinely used as brain protection during aortic arch surgery. Whether ASCP …

OBJECTIVE: Incomplete circle of Willis (CoW) configuration is an important risk factor for
cerebrovascular pathology, namely aneurysm formation and ischemic stroke. This study was …
