  • Title: Acute vertebrobasilar artery thrombosis: long-term benefit of vertebral artery stenting.
    Author: Hassan A, ul Haq T, Khimani F, Ali S, Dhakam S, Syed NA.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2007 Oct; 48(10):e277-80. PubMed ID: 17909666.
    Abstract:
    Acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion is a life-threatening event, even after thrombolytic treatment with local intraarterial (IA) recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. We report a 70-year-old man with acute vertebral artery occlusion in which IA thrombolysis resulted in partial recanalisation and revealed pre-existing severe stenosis as the underlying cause. Stenosis was managed with stenting with excellent long-term clinical as well as angiographical outcomes.
