Transluminal angioplasty for atherosclerotic disease of the vertebral and basilar arteries

TL;DR: In patients with significant atherosclerotic stenosis involving the vertebral or basilar artery territories, transluminal angioplasty may be of significant benefit in alleviating symptoms and improving blood flow to the posterior cerebral circulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endovascular treatment of vertebral artery dissections and pseudoaneurysms

TL;DR: Symptomatic vertebral artery dissections involving the intradural and extradural segments can be effectively managed by endovascular techniques and balloon test occlusion and transluminal angioplasty can be useful adjuncts in the management of this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

The efficacy of endosaccular aneurysm occlusion in alleviating neurological deficits produced by mass effect

TL;DR: It is suggested that endosaccular embolization therapy can improve or alleviate presenting neurological signs unrelated to hemorrhage or distal embolized in the majority of cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidental fibromuscular dysplasia in potential renal donors: long-term clinical follow-up.

TL;DR: It is concluded that asymptomatic middle-aged individuals with renal FMD develop hypertension at a rate greater than that of age-matched control subjects with normal blood pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review of the management of posterior communicating artery aneurysms in the modern era

TL;DR: Based on level 2 evidence, clipping appears to offer a higher chance of occulomotor nerve palsy recovery; however, coiling will remain as an option particularly in elderly patients or patients with significant comorbidity.
