Herein we report on the use of \u201cmonorail\u201d coronary balloon angioplasty and stent balloon mounted catheters in two patients with acute vertebrobasilar ischemic stroke, focussing on the differences and possible advantages of the \u201cmonorail\u201d technique in comparison with the \u201cover-the-wire\u201d technique. In both patients, the clinical picture was characterized by progressive brainstem symptoms followed by acute loss of consciousness related to an atherothrombotic occlusion and subocclusion of the dominant intracranial vertebral artery, respectively. In one patient, superselective thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty resulted in a dissection flap at the vertebrobasilar junction. The latter was treated by successful deployment of a coronary stent. In the other patient, the subocclusive lesion was directly treated by angioplasty and stenting without thrombolytic therapy. The clinical outcome was poor for one patient (\u201clocked in\u201d syndrome) while the other had a complete clinical recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In acute atherothrombotic vertebrobasilar stroke transluminal cerebral angioplasty and stenting may be successfully performed allowing vessel recanalization.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/159101990200800205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,12]],"date-time":"2017-01-12T17:50:33Z","timestamp":1484243433000},"page":"135-141","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Percutaneous Transluminal Cerebral Angioplasty and Stenting in Acute Vertebrobasilar Ischemic Stroke"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Nistri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Mangiafico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Cellerini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.","family":"Villa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Mennonna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Azienda Ospedaliera Careggi, Florence; Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Ammannati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, Azienda Ospedaliera Careggi, Florence; Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"G.
