1. A 44-year-old male patient with symptomatic left intracranial vertebral artery stenosis treated with balloon predilation plus self-expanding stenting.
A 44-year-old male patient with symptomatic left intracranial vertebral artery stenosis treated with balloon predilation plus self-expanding stenting. (A) CT angiography showed a severe left intracranial vertebral artery stenosis. (B) CT perfusion showed hypoperfusion in the posterior circulation territory compared with that in the anterior circulation territory. (C) The lesion was treated with a balloon (2.5 mm × 15 mm) and then implantation of a self-expanding stent (3.0 mm × 20 mm). The degree of stenosis decreased from 90% to 0%. CBF, cerebral blood flow; CBV, cerebral blood volume; MTT, mean transit time; TTP, time to peak.
