Vertebral artery dominance, basilar artery curvature, and posterior circulation stroke / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Vertebral artery dominance is generally considered to be a congenital vascular variation or meaningless clinical finding.Many studies have shown that the bilateral vertebral artery blood flow asymmetry caused by vertebral artery dominance is easy to result in basilar artery curvature.Some studies have shown that there are certain correlations between both the vertebral artery dominance and the basilar artery curvature and the posterior circulation stroke.
