RADIOGRAPHIC ANATOMY OF VERTEBRAL, POSTERIOR INFERIOR CEREBELLAR AND OCCIPITAL ARTERIES

Abstract

Spended radiographic analysis vertebral, posterior inferior cerebellar, occipital arteries and evaluate the use of reconstructive techniques for complex vascular pathology. The study performed at the department of neurosurgery № 2 and endovascular diagnosis and treatment № 1, Regional clinical hospital № 1. Analyzed the results of the angiographic study of 150 patients. According radiographic results conducted over perhaps right PICA – OA anastomosis in 55 (37%) patients, left 45 (30%) patients. Knowledge of radiographic anatomy allows preoperative planning of reconstructive surgery for the treatment of complex vascular lesions and scull base tumors.
