Abstract: Basilar artery (BA) supplies brain stem, cerebellum, thalami, occipital lobes, and medial temporal lobes. Acute occlusion of this artery has a poor prognosis and produces high risk of stroke and death. The high mortality risk of symptomatic basilaris stenosis justifies balloon angioplasty in selected cases. We report our first clinical experience with a marked flexible monorail balloon for treatment of acute A. basilaris Occlusion.
Keywords: occlusion, experience, Acute, basilaris.
