Abstract
We report 2 cases of stenting for occlusive lesions due to wall dissection of the intracranial vertebrobasilar arteries. The first case concerns a 58 year-old man who had dizziness due to restenosis, 6 months after balloon angioplasty. He underwent balloon angioplasty for restenosis. The angioplasty was complicated by acute occlusion due to wall dissection. The acute occlusion of the lesion was completely recanalized by implanting a balloon-expandable stent. The second case concerns a 50 year-old man who had progressive ischemic symptoms due to spontaneous dissection of basilar artery. The symptoms progressed in spite of anticoagulation therapy. The lesion was successfully treated with stenting.
