Abstract
We present clinicopathologic findings in a patient treated with intraa rterial thrombolysis and angioplasty for vertebrobasilar thrombosis. A utopsy revealed a marked inflammatory infiltrate within the vertebral artery at the site of catheter manipulation. This finding may have imp ortant implications for the use of interventional angiography in cereb rovascular disease.
