Vertebral Artery Stenting in a Patient With Bow Hunter’s Syndrome

Abstract

This report describes the case of a man with Bow Hunter’s syndrome that was diagnosed by dynamic cerebral angiography. A decision for endovascular treatment was made. A self-expandable stent, 8 × 300 mm, was implanted in the left vertebral artery with excellent results, with resolution of the patient’s symptoms and without any procedure-related complications. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
