Background / objective This study highlights the rate of surgical activities in cases of vertebrobasilar ischemia. Patients and methods In the last years in the neurological and vascular surgery clinics of Vilnius University Emergency Hospital 1259 patients were treated for vertebrobasilar ishemia and 298 patients (23.7%) underwent vertebral artery reconstruction. Results Only in 57.2% of cases of vertebrobasilar ishemia did we find pathological anatomical changes in vertebral arteries. In 83 cases the vertebral artery was occluded, in 413 cases vertebral arteries were herniated into canalis osseus by osteochondrosis. In 825 cases (65.5%) vertebrobasilar stroke occurred. Conclusions After CT and angiographic examination only 15 distal vertebral artery reconstructions were performed, i. e. 5.1% of all operations on vertebral artery and 1.2% of all vertebrobasilar patients. |
