Transcutaneous angioplasty of vertebral artery atheromatous ostial stricture
Abstract
The authors report experience of intravascular angioplasty of atheromatous ostial strictures of the vertebral artery in 24 patients. After reviewing the technique, they outline the indications provided through Doppler velocimetric data. The results seem to be encouraging as symptoms disappeared completely in 21 patients.
