Abstract:
About 25%-40% of ischemic stroke is in the posterior circulation, in which 20% of posterior circulation stroke is caused by vertebral artery stenosis. Patients with symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis have a high risk of recurrent stroke. At present, the treatments of vertebral artery stenosis include medication, open surgery and interventional therapy. In this paper, the endovascular treatment of vertebral artery stenosis is reviewed, especially the progress of endovascular treatment is expounded, in order to promote the development of its treatment.
