Association between basilar artery stenosis features, vertebral artery stenosis and perforator stroke after stenting.

ABSTRACT: Background and PurposeWe investigated the relationship between basilar artery (BA) atherosclerotic stenosis features and vertebral artery (VA) stenosis and explored whether BA stenosis features are associated with perforator stroke after stenting.MethodsPatients with BA stenosis who underwent HRMRI and DSA were recruited. Patients were divided into proximal BA stenosis and middle-or-distal BA stenosis groups, and then subgroup analyses were performed based on whether they had VA stenosis. BA plaque features were evaluated by HRMRI. Artery stenosis was measured by DSA. The incidence of perforator stroke after BA stenting was recorded, and the potential association between BA stenosis features and perforator stroke was analyzed.ResultsOne hundred and seventy-four patients were consecutively
