ABSTRACT
Seventy-nine consecutive patients with symptomatic atherosclerotic stenosis > or = 50% of intracranial vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) were treated by elective stenting. There were five strokes within 30 days, and three strokes in the VBA territory after 30 days (mean of 812 days). The annual stroke rate in the VBA territory (including any stroke and death within 30 days) was 4.6%. At the last follow-up time, 73 patients were independent (modified Rankin scale grade < or = 2). The outcome compares favorably with medical therapy.
