Endovascular recanalization for chronic symptomatic intracranial vertebral artery total occlusion: Experience of a single center and review of literature

Our single-center study illustrated the feasibility and safety of ICVA recanalization. Great care should be taken as revascularization is of high risk. When patient selection, occlusion course and stage as well as neuroimaging evaluation are considered, endovascular recanalization may be a useful therapeutic modality.
