Abstract
The vertebral artery is subject to vascular disease rendering the post erior cerebral circulation vulnerable to ischemia. Appropriate evaluat ion with imaging studies and careful clinical correlation can identify a subset of patients who benefit from vertebral artery surgery. Verte bral artery surgery can successfully manage symptomatic vertebral arte ry disease with good long-term outcome.
