Abstract

Background. The relevance of the review is determined by the fairly high incidence of strokes in the vertebrobasilar region. Aim. To analyze the literature on occlusive-stenotic lesions of the vertebral arteries as the causes of ischemic strokes and methods of their treatment. Results. It has been established that the problem of ischemic strokes due to occlusive-stenotic lesions of the vertebral arteries is a poorly covered topic. Existing options for eliminating stenosis of the vertebral artery mouth have advantages and disadvantages, and vary depending on many factors. Conclusions. The most effective method of treating occlusive-stenotic lesions of the vertebral arteries, which cause the development of vertebrobasilar insufficiency, has not yet been finally determined. This emphasizes the need for further research to develop a pathogenetically based treatment algorithm for such patients.
