Endovascular Recanalization for Chronic Symptomatic Intracranial Vertebral Artery Total Occlusion
Figure 2
A 72-year-old man (case 6) with right intracranial vertebral artery (ICVA) total occlusion and contralateral severe stenosis confirmed by CTA (a) and DSA (b). The distal patency was confirmed by angiography through microcatheter (c). The lesion was predilated with a 2 × 20 mm Invatec balloon (d) and covered with a 3 × 19 mm Invatec balloon-expandable stent (e). A 24-month follow-up CTA showed mild in-stent stenosis (f).
