[Percutaneous transluminal dilatation (PTD) of descending stenoses of the vertebral artery]. 1986

R Kachel, and H Ritter, and K Grossmann, and K D Hamm

38 stenoses of supra-aortic arteries were dilated with good success in 32 patients over a period of four years. They were 17 stenoses of the internal carotid artery, one of the common carotid artery, 16 of the subclavian artery, and four descending stenoses of the vertebral artery. Indication, method, and results of percutaneous transluminal dilatation of stenoses descending from the vertebral artery are described and discussed, with reference being made to case examples.

D002537 Intracranial Arteriosclerosis Vascular diseases characterized by thickening and hardening of the walls of ARTERIES inside the SKULL. There are three subtypes: (1) atherosclerosis with fatty deposits in the ARTERIAL INTIMA; (2) Monckeberg's sclerosis with calcium deposits in the media and (3) arteriolosclerosis involving the small caliber arteries. Clinical signs include HEADACHE; CONFUSION; transient blindness (AMAUROSIS FUGAX); speech impairment; and HEMIPARESIS.
