Fig A, Angiography of the right subclavian artery in frontal oblique view shows a high-grade ostial stenosis of the right vertebral artery with poststenotic dilatation. B, Control angiography after primary stenting with a balloon-mounted stent confirms adequate restoration of vessel lumen. C, Intracranial angiogram of the left vertebral artery in frontal view shows a tight and eccentric mid-basilar stenosis involving the origin of both anterior inferior cerebellar arteries. D, Control angiogram after primary stenting with a slightly undersized, balloon-mounted stent demonstrates preservation of basilar branches and improved perfusion of the basilar territory.
