BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The clinical outcome is often poor in acute stroke patients
with a serious neurological status due to occlusive lesions of the intracranial vertebral and/or …

Background and objective The outcome of failed recanalization in patients with acutely
symptomatic intracranial vertebrobasilar (VB) artery occlusive disease is poor. This paper …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke is often associated
with high morbidity and mortality with limited therapeutic options. Endovascular treatment …

Objective Although short-term clinical outcomes after basilar artery stent placement have
been reported previously, effectiveness of intracranial stenting for vertebrobasilar artery …

Background Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting in acute stroke due to
severe basilar artery stenosis or basilar artery occlusion remain a matter of debate. The …

Introduction Vertebrobasilar artery occlusion (VBO) produces high mortality and morbidity
due to low recanalization rate utilization in endovascular therapy. The use of percutaneous …

In view of the poor prognosis for patients with acute intracranial vertebrobasilar occlusion
(VBO), factors were sought that predict survival and good neurologic outcome after acute …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence and location of hemorrhagic
and ischemic lesions after local intra-arterial (IA) fibrinolysis in patients with acute …

Purpose To evaluate the technical feasibility, safety and short-term treatment effects of
recanalization and stenting for intracranial symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery occlusion …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although intracranial atherosclerotic disease is often
encountered during endovascular treatment for acute vertebrobasilar occlusions, its clinical …
