Abstract:Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare vascular anomaly of increased diameter, length, and tortuosity of vertebral and/or basilar artery, but debilitating due to its risk of ischemia, hemorrhage, and nerve or brain compression. The management is also controversial due to various possible clinical manifestation and outcome. This study aimed to describe a combined approach of multiple scaffolding Leo stents and nondominant vertebral artery occlusion as a definitive approach to reconstruct vertebrobasilar… Show more
