Abstract
A 64-year-old man suffering from crescendo brainstem symptoms due to acute total occlusion of the vertebrobasilar artery was successfully treated by cerebral artery stent placement. The total occlusion of a long segment of the vertebrobasilar artery was completely recanalized by implanting two flexible, balloon-expandable coronary stents. The patient's clinical outcome 30 days later was favorable. No complications occurred during or after the procedure. This therapeutic option may prove to be a useful means to revascularize an acute total occlusion of the vertebrobasilar artery.Entities:
