Penetrating extracranial vertebral artery injuries

2020, World NeurosurgeryCitation Excerpt :In our case, the goal of treatment of the EVAA was to repair the saccular aneurysm while preserving the VA patency for the intracranial blood supply. Owing to the tortuosity of the V1-V2 segment of the contralateral VA, we decided against sacrifice of the left VA by ligation, isolation, or endovascular occlusion, which might induce neurologic complications, reported to be as high as 8%.11 In view of the tortuous contralateral VA, we preferred to maintain the vascular patency of the diseased side and reduce unnecessary surgical iatrogenic injury.

2013, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Unilateral occlusion of a vertebral artery in the presence of a normal contralateral vertebral artery is often well tolerated. The incidence of neurologic complications after ligation or embolization has been reported to be as high as 8% and is higher in patients who lack blood flow in the contralateral vertebral artery.11 In cases where the therapeutic sacrifice of major cerebral arteries is necessary, angiographic balloon occlusion tests are a useful adjunct in predicting clinical outcomes.12
Traumatic Intracranial and Extracranial Vascular Injuries in Children
2010, Neurosurgery Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Controversy persists in the literature as to whether proximal ligation alone is adequate; some believe that proximal and distal ligation must be done to avert distal thrombus propagation. Most agree that the risk of this complication is reduced by prophylactic heparinization in the acute phase for any patient who has undergone vertebral artery ligation.86 The surgical and endovascular procedures described earlier involve the occlusion of the arterial lumen, which is the main disadvantage of these methods.
