چکیده
Endovascular therapy, including percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting, is considered investigational for the management of extracranial vertebral artery disease. There is insufficient evidence to support a conclusion concerning the health outcomes or benefits associated with this procedure. Policy Guidelines The extracranial vertebral artery is considered to be segments V1-V3 of the vertebral artery from its origin at the subclavian artery until it crosses the dura mater.

متن کاملA systematic review of stenting and angioplasty of symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Extracranial vertebral artery stenosis (ECVAS) is common among patients with ischemic stroke. Despite the limited knowledge of the natural history of patients with symptomatic vertebral disease, endovascular revascularization techniques are now utilized in clinical practice. We sought to determine the risk of endovascular treatment for ECVAS with a systematic review of th...

Although utilization of endovascular treatment of extracranial steno-occlusive lesions except for internal carotid artery stenosis continues to increase, there is no consensus regarding the natural course and standard treatment of these lesions. The aim of this study was to characterize the utility of endovascular treatment for extracranial steno-occlusive lesions except for internal carotid ar...
