There has been carried out an experiment with 6 craniovertebral blocks with contrasting of the vertebral arteries and studying of the influence of different damages of ligamentous apparatus on blood flow in vertebral arteries. In all cases there has been discovered significant vertebrogenic influence. Experimental data have been corroborated with clinical material. There have been examined 31 patient with different damages of ligamentous apparatus of craniovertebral segment, with 21 of them has been detected significant vertebrogenic influence at ultrasound dopplerography of vertebral arteries.

Background And Objectives: Three-column osteotomy (3CO) offers substantial spinal deformity correction. Thoracic neurovascular bundle sacrifice is often required, and anterior spinal artery (ASA) perfusion can be compromised. Spinal angiography allows localization of variable ASA vascular contribution.

Background: While acute occlusion of the subclavian artery (SCA) proximal to the vertebral artery (VA) origin is an uncommon but recognized cause of embolic stroke, an occlusion distal to the VA is rare and can be easily overlooked.

Case Description: We describe the clinical presentation and evaluation of a previously healthy 56-year-old woman who experienced four life-threatening posterior circulation strokes within 1 month, three of which led to basilar artery (BA) occlusions requiring thrombectomies. Workup revealed an occlusion of the right SCA located less than 1 cm distal to the VA origin.

Background And Purpose: Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) pulmonary angiography can reliably detect cement pulmonary embolisms (CPEs) and parenchymal perfusion defects. This prospective observational study investigated CPEs in asymptomatic patients using DECT.

Methods: We enrolled 42 patients who underwent vertebroplasty or received cement screws for vertebral augmentation, examining them using spinal computed tomography and DECT pulmonary angiography.
