Symptomatic right vertebral artery web treated with stent implantation and 6-month angiographic follow-up
This case highlights that VA web should be considered in patients with unexplained posterior circulation ischemia. Stent implantation may represent an effective treatment option for symptomatic patients refractory to medical therapy; however, the risk of post-procedural restenosis should be recognized. Long-term follow-up and further studies are required to determine optimal management strategies.
