Treatment of Vertebrobasilar Artery Dissection / 신경중재치료의학

ABSTRACT

Intracranial vertebrobasilar artery (VBA) dissection can be classified into three major clinical types subarachnoid hemorrhage, headache, and nonhemorrhagic ischemic symptoms. And it has been more frequently identified since the introduction of advanced diagnostic imaging modalites including MR angiography and multidetector CT angiography. Aggressive treatment has been considered due to their tendency for early rebleeding and a fatal natural course. We describe approproiate neurointerventional options, based on he patterns of angiographic features and location of dissection.
