Ultrasound-guided computed tomography angiography for the diagnosis of rotational vertebral artery occlusion: 2 case reports and technical notes

Rotational vertebral artery occlusion is a rare cause of ischemic stroke in the vertebrobasilar arteries. While computed tomography angiography (CTA) is less invasive for the diagnosis of rational vertebral artery occlusion than digital subtraction angiography and more useful for elucidating the cor...

description Rotational vertebral artery occlusion is a rare cause of ischemic stroke in the vertebrobasilar arteries.

We suggest that the combination of ultrasound and CTA is useful for diagnosing rotational vertebral artery occlusion, which would compensate for the disadvantages of CTA alone.
