  • Title: Arterial changes after thrombolysis and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in vertebrobasilar thrombosis.
    Author: Becker KJ, Crain BJ, Monsein LH, Pappalardo PA, Hanley DF.
    Journal: AJNR Am J Neuroradiol; 1997 Mar; 18(3):514-8. PubMed ID: 9090414.
    Abstract:
    We present clinicopathologic findings in a patient treated with intraarterial thrombolysis and angioplasty for vertebrobasilar thrombosis. Autopsy revealed a marked inflammatory infiltrate within the vertebral artery at the site of catheter manipulation. This finding may have important implications for the use of interventional angiography in cerebrovascular disease.
