title: [Surgical treatment of extracranial occlusive processes of the vertebral artery by construction of a subclavio-vertebral bypass].
abstract: An account is given of causes and clinical patterns of vertebro-basilar insufficiency, before reference is made to patients treated at the Surgical Department of Charité to describe indications for surgery, diagnostic approach, and various surgical techniques. A particular role is played, in this context, by stenoses and occlusions of the vertebral artery in the bone canal of the cervicovertebral column. Subclavio-vertebral bypass is a new surgical technique recommended for surgical treatment of that kind of vascular processes.
