Dynamic vertebral artery recanalization as a cause for recurrent posterior circulation thromboembolic stroke: illustrative case
This case demonstrates the utility of dynamic cerebral angiography due to the ability to manipulate head position while visualizing blood flow. Despite the invasive nature of the procedure, it helped improve diagnostic accuracy and identify a rare vascular lesion. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25133.
