Angioplastica e stenting intracranico nello stroke ischemico vertebrobasilare

We describe three patients with accute occlusion (case 1) and subocclusion (cases 3 and 4) of the distal portion of the vertebral artery. A satisfactory vessel recanalization was obtained in all three cases, but a good clinical outcome was only achieved in one patient while a second patient developed an apallic syndrome.
