Vertebral artery origin stenosis

    • Ultrasound Criteria for Assessment of Vertebral Artery Origins

      CONCLUSION: Ultrasound has good sensitivity and excellent specificity for detecting vertebral origin occlusion. Flow velocity can be used to screen for severe stenosis of vertebral artery at origin. Keywords: ultrasound, vertebral artery, stenosis.

    • Drug-coated balloon for vertebral artery origin stenosis: a pilot study

      Vertebral artery origin stenosis (VAOS) occurs in the ostial segment of the artery (V1 segment), which is the most common site of this stenosis. It can cause posterior circulation related transient ischemic attacks (TIAs), contributing a 25–35% risk of stroke within the next 5 years in symptomatic patients.1

      Vertebral artery origin stenosis (VAOS) is a treatable cause of posterior circulation stroke in 9–20% of cases. VAOS can cause stroke due to artery–artery thromboembolism or flow-related posterior circulation hypoperfusion. It is recommended to maximize medical treatment of asymptomatic VAOS. Endovascular

      In this study, stent placement of vertebral artery stenosis by using short DES was safe and yielded good midterm patency rates. In our experience, short DES, deployed with high pressure and placed with the proximal end as close as possible to the level of the subclavian artery, are less prone to intimal hyperplasia, recurrent stenosis, and ...

      The Subclavian Steal Syndrome is a retrograde flow in the vertebral artery as a result of proximal subclavian artery occlusion or severe stenosis. This retrograde flow presupposes that the vertebral artery is of usual origin from the superior surface of its ipsilateral subclavian artery.
