  • Note.—IVA indicates intracranial vertebral artery; BA, basilar artery; H, hypertension; D, diabetes mellitus; L, hyperlipidemia; S, smoking; C, coronary artery disease.

  • * Recanalized after intraarterial abciximab injection.

  • Improved during hospitalization.

  • First stent was trapped by the tight stenosis and had to be deployed proximal to the lesion site; thus, a second stent was used for distal angioplasty.

  • § Two stents used for long length of the lesion.
