BACKGROUND: Atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the proximal vertebral artery is an
important cause of cerebrovascular ischemic events with a significant associated morbidity …

Percutaneous angioplasty and stenting for the treatment of extracranial vertebral artery (VA)
stenosis seems a safe, effective and useful technique for resolving symptoms and improving …

Background While a growing number of reports offer evidence for the potential of drug
eluting stents (DES) in treating atherosclerotic stenosis of the extracranial vertebral artery …

Endovascular treatment of vertebral artery stenosis (VAS) is a safe and effective technique
for treating symptoms caused by posterior circulation ischemia with high technical and …

Background and Purpose: Extracranial artery stenosis (ECAS) is related to individual
imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD). However, little has been reported …

Background and purpose The long term results of vertebral artery ostium (VAO) stenting
remain uncertain. We sought to evaluate the incidence and risk factors for recurrent ischemic …

Objective To determine whether drug-eluting (DE) stents offer any advantage over bare-
metal (BM) stents in terms of restenosis rates and to identify indications for vertebral artery …

The use of balloons in the field of neurosurgery is currently an essential part of our clinical
practice. The field has evolved over the last 40 years since Serbinenko used balloons to test …

Background The incidence and predictors for in-stent restenosis (ISR) was not fully
explored. We aim to investigate the incidence and predictors of ISR after stenting at the …

Background: Bow Hunter's syndrome/stroke is defined as symptomatic, vertebrobasilar
insufficiency provoked by physiologic head rotation. It is a diagnostically challenging cause …
