Retrograde endovascular recanalization via the ascending cervical artery for non-conical stump vertebral artery occlusion: a case report
To present a case study demonstrating the feasibility of endovascular recanalization via the ascending cervical artery for a patient with occlusion of a non-tapered stump vertebral artery, highlighting its significance in challenging cases.
Key Findings:
Endovascular recanalization was successfully achieved through the ascending cervical artery, despite technical challenges due to the non-tapered stump morphology, which may have implications for future cases.
Interpretation:
This case highlights the potential of using alternative access routes, such as the ascending cervical artery, for endovascular recanalization in challenging cases of vertebral artery occlusion, compared to standard approaches.
Limitations:
Single case study limits generalizability of findings; further studies with diverse cases are needed to establish broader efficacy and safety.
Conclusion:
Endovascular recanalization via the ascending cervical artery is a feasible and effective strategy for treating non-tapered stump vertebral artery occlusions, warranting further investigation to validate these findings.
