Abstract:
Posterior circulation ischemic stroke is a kind of cerebral infarction which occurs in the blood supply area of vertebrobasilar artery. Its etiology is complex. The common causes include thromboembolism, large artery atherosclerosis, and small arterial disease. The treatment options for posterior circulation ischemic stroke include drug therapy, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular therapy. However, the application of endovascular therapy in patients with posterior circulation ischemic stroke is still in the exploratory stage, and there is not enough evidence of randomized controlled trials.
