Retrograde recanalisation for vertebral artery stump syndrome: a case report
Renjie Ji, Bing Li, Ziqi Xu
Abstract
Vertebral artery stump syndrome (VASS) is a rare disease associated with a posterior circulation stroke after vertebral artery origin occlusion. We have herein presented a case of VASS that was effectively treated with endovascular intervention using retrograde recanalisation and the mechanism of VASS in our patient was thought to be a thrombus formed by stagnating flow.
