A 75-year-old man had a 2-week history of recurrent, in crescendo episodes of diplopia, dizziness, dysarthria, and right-sided hemiparesis. Transcranial color-coded sonography (TCCS) showed a severe proximal basilar artery (BA) stenosis with an enddiastolic flow velocity of 142 cm/sec (figure, A, arrow) confirmed by angiography. BA angioplasty and stent application was performed in view of pers...

متن کاملTreatment of symptomatic fusiform aneurysm in basilar artery by stenting following coiling technique.
AIM The present stent-assisted coil technique has many limitations especially in treating fusiform aneurysms. We aimed to introduce stenting following coiling technique to treat fusiform aneurysms. MATERIAL AND METHODS From January 2009 to December 2010, we treated 6 patients with fusiform aneurysms in basilar artery (BA) by stenting following coiling technique. The 6 patients included four m...
متن کاملBasilar Artery Changes in Fabry Disease.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dolichoectasia of the basilar artery is a characteristic finding of Fabry disease. However, its prevalence, severity, and course have been poorly studied. This study quantitatively evaluated, by MRA, a panel of basilar artery parameters in a large cohort of patients with Fabry disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS Basilar artery mean diameter, curved length, "origin-to-end" li...
