Abstract:
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a rare disease in clinic, with an incidence of 0.06% and 5.8%. It is a progressive vascular disease caused by the dilatation, tortuosity, and prolongation of vertebral and basilar arteries caused by a variety of factors. VBD can lead to hemodynamic changes, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms due to vasodilation, neurological dysfunction, hydrocephalus, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and other clinical manifestations. However, because the condition of VBD is complex and changeable, the treatment of VBD is not uniform. With the development of vascular intervention, especially the development of stent technology, it may become an effective method for the treatment of VBD. Two patients with VBD were treated with endovascular stent implantation.
