Anatomic and hemodynamic characterization of vertebral artery duplication via color doppler ultrasonography
VA duplication is correlated with substantial alterations in both the origin and the entry level into the transverse foramen. In our case series of VA duplication, the diameter and PSV of the medial branch is different from that of the convergent VA or the lateral branch, which might be useful for neuro-interventionalists and neck surgeons.
