ABSTRACT
Acute vertebrobasilar artery occlusion is a fatal event, even after intra-arterial thrombectomy and thrombolysis. We are reporting a case of acute vertebral artery (VA) occlusion. A 37-year-old man was admitted with mild dizziness, but cardiopulmonary arrest suddenly developed after eleven hours. We performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation immediately and his mental and vital state was recovered. Thus we performed intra-arterial thrombectomy, thrombolysis and balloon angioplasty for left vertebral artery occlusion. But pre-existing stenosis of VA was revealed during intervention so we inserted a stent to the stenotic area. Conclusively, we obtained the good angiographical and clinical outcomes.
