Article Figures & Data
Figures
- fig 1.
A–D, Angiographic findings in a patient (case 2) with a filiform stenosis of the proximal basilar artery before (A and B) and after (C and D) PTA. A and C, anteroposterior view; B and D, lateral view
- fig 2.
A–C, Angiographic findings in a patient (case 9) with a high-grade stenosis of the distal vertebral artery (V4 segment). Stenosis evident before PTA (A) was completely resolved immediately afterward (B); follow-up MR angiogram (C) showed no restenosis
- fig 3.
A and B, Angiographic findings in a patient (case 8) with a high-grade stenosis of the left distal vertebral artery (V4 segment). Stenosis before angioplasty (A) was completely gone immediately afterward, but a clinically asymptomatic minor dissection is evident (arrow, B)
