Hemodynamic evaluation of basilar and vertebral artery angioplasty.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND IMPORTANCE:Formation of cerebral de novo aneurysms (CDNAs) is rare, and the pathogenesis remains obscure. We analyzed factors involved in formation of CDNAs and suggest guidelines for follow-up of patients. CLINICAL PRESENTATION:We retrospectively reviewed intracranial aneurysms at our institute and pub...
