Abstract

Symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis is associated with high risk of early recurrent stroke. Vertebral artery stenosis can be treated with angioplasty and stenting with good technical results. In this review we outline the framework for the diagnosis and management of vertebral artery disease with focus on the emerging benefits of angiography and endovascular interventions.

Keywords: Angioplasty; Stent; Symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis; Vertebral artery.
