Arterial changes after thrombolysis and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in vertebrobasilar thrombosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

Transluminal angioplasty for arteriosclerotic disease of the distal vertebral and basilar arteries.
OBJECTIVE Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the distal vertebral and basilar artery is now being performed in selected patients with haemodynamically significant lesions of the posterior cerebral circulation. Its effect and overall results were examined. PATIENTS AND METHODS A balloon dilatation catheter specifically developed for these procedures, with a 2.0-3.5 mm balloon diam...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal angioplasty adjunct to thrombolysis for acute middle cerebral artery rethrombosis.
PURPOSE To report three patients, each of whom had acute rethrombosis of a reopened middle cerebral artery after urokinase treatment for proximal stenosis (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the stenosis was performed adjunctive to the thrombolytic treatment to preserve the success of the thrombolysis), and a fourth patient who had percutaneous transluminal angioplasty right after the com...
متن کاملPercutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting for vertebral artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Surgery to the vertebrobasilar region is difficult and not considered in most centres. Furthermore, the basilar artery, with its penetrating branches supplying the brain stem, is likely to be extremely hazardous to dilate. OBJECTIVES The objective of this review was to assess the effect of vertebral artery percutaneous transluminal angioplasty combined with medical care, compared t...
متن کاملThe value of myocardial perfusion imaging with Tc-99m MIBI for the prediction of perfusion improvement after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Introduction: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is an effective method for revascularizing of stenotic coronary vessels. Lack of response to this treatment, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic patients, is usually due to incomplete revascularization, restenosis, and/or irreversibility of myocardial perfusion. Introduction of a noninvasive metho...
