We describe the clinical presentation, radiologic features, and clinical outcomes of 11 consecutive patients with these lesions, treated using stent alone placement.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Materials and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>11 patients were studied (10 men, one woman), with a mean age of 51\u2005years (range 30\u201368\u2005years). Clinical and angiographic data were reviewed retrospectively.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>It was technically feasible to place stents in all 11 cases, and a multiple stents technique was used in nine patients. Procedure related posterior circulation ischemic complications occurred in two cases. One patient presenting with locked-in syndrome died of a pulmonary embolism 3\u2005months after treatment although the clinical condition was gradually improving after stent placement. In the other eight cases, improvement in initial symptoms or a stable condition was observed on follow-up at 1\u201348\u2005months. Angiographic follow-up was obtained in nine cases using DSA (n=8) or CT angiography (n=1). Successful occlusion of the aneurysm or dissection sac was noted in two cases, BA occlusion in one case, disappearance of double lumen sign in one case, and delayed retention of contrast medium in one case. For the remaining four patients there was no change in the configuration of the lesions on follow-up angiographic results.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Stent alone treatment as a potential and disputable alternative therapeutic option for the treatment of BA dissection and dissecting aneurysms, although technically feasible, was effective in only certain lesions, and this treatment carries substantial risks of complications and a high failure rate. The true effect of this strategy is questionable. A study involving larger populations and a longer follow-up is necessary to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment modality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/neurintsurg-2013-010967","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,2]],"date-time":"2014-01-02T22:27:20Z","timestamp":1388701640000},"page":"50-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Stent alone treatment for dissections and dissecting aneurysms involving the basilar artery"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Chuanhui","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Youxiang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chuhan","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhongxue","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xinjian","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Interventional Neuroradiology, Beijing Neurosurgical Institute and Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025092910525713000_7.1.50.1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"254","DOI":"10.1227\/00006123-199502000-00003","article-title":"Dissecting aneurysms of the basilar artery","volume":"36","author":"Pozzati","year":"1995","journal-title":"Neurosurgery"},{"key":"2025092910525713000_7.1.50.2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"476","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2005.102.3.0476","article-title":"Basilar artery dissection","volume":"102","author":"Yoshimoto","year":"2005","journal-title":"J Neurosurg"},{"key":"2025092910525713000_7.1.50.3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"292","DOI":"10.1097\/00004728-199403000-00024","article-title":"Spontaneous healing of basilar artery dissection: MR findings","volume":"18","author":"Ross","year":"1994","journal-title":"J Comput Assist Tomogr"},{"key":"2025092910525713000_7.1.50.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"628","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1991.75.4.0628","article-title":"Spontaneous dissecting aneurysms of the basilar artery presenting with a subarachnoid hemorrhage.
