Vertebrobasilar Dissection with Pseudo-aneurysm or Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Intracranial Stenting as the Only Treatment. A Report of Three Cases.

SUMMARY: Vertebrobasilar dissection may cause ischaemia or subarachnoid haemorrhage and can pose a significant treatment challenge. Endovascular treatment using stents alone has been described but there are few reports of its clinical application. We here report our experiences from three cases of vertebrobasilar dissection and pseudo-aneurysm or subarachnoid hemorrhage treated with stents alone.
