[Exposure of the extracranial portion of the vertebral artery. Anatomical study--Surgical value (author's transl)]. 1979

C Laurian, and B George

Exposure of the vertebral artery, in particular in its extracranial course, may be of surgical value. The treatment of lesions affecting this entire artery must be discussed in the context of the revascularisation of the vessels supplying the brain. The anatomical study forms defines the features of this surgical approach. Selective vertebral arteriography and the assessment of tolerance of vertebral clamping are the main features of pre-operative evaluation.

D001164	Arteriovenous Fistula	An abnormal direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. An A-V fistula usually leads to the formation of a dilated sac-like connection, arteriovenous aneurysm. The locations and size of the shunts determine the degree of effects on the cardiovascular functions such as BLOOD PRESSURE and HEART RATE.
