Nine patients with uni-or bilateral stenosis of vertebral arteries, not associated with other lesions of supraaortic trunks are reported. They showed a vertebrobasilar insufficiency syndrome not due to other assessable causes. Seven of them underwent surgical treatment: reimplantation of the vertebral into the subclavian artery. The procedure was unilateral also in cases with bilateral lesions. In all 7 patients a favourable result was obtained: 5 patients recovered completely and 2 showed a marked improvement. The study demonstrates that the surgical repair of symptomatic unilateral lesions of vertebral arteries is able to cure the vertebrobasilar insufficiency syndrome.

Abstract
Nine patients with uni-or bilateral stenosis of vertebral arteries, not associated with other lesions of supraaortic trunks are reported. They showed a vertebrobasilar insufficiency syndrome not due to other assessable causes. Seven of them underwent surgical treatment: reimplantation of the vertebral into the subclavian artery. The procedure was unilateral also in cases with bilateral lesions. In all 7 patients a favourable result was obtained: 5 patients recovered completely and 2 showed a marked improvement. The study demonstrates that the surgical repair of symptomatic unilateral lesions of vertebral arteries is able to cure the vertebrobasilar insufficiency syndrome.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
