All patients presented with vertebrobasilar ischemia (VBI) despite antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy.

Six patients received 9 stents, 2 for VA dissections, 3 for tandem lesions, and 1 for a BA lesion. There were no embolic strokes. Patients were followed by clinical evaluation and personal or telephone interviews. Over a mean 18-month follow-up (range 12\u201335), 8 (73%) patients remained asymptomatic, while 3 (27%) had permanent deficits, 2 related to the procedure and 1 owing to distal disease<\/jats:p>\n
