title: Stenting for symptomatic vertebral artery stenosis associated with bilateral carotid rete mirabile: the long-term clinical and angiographic outcome.
abstract: Symptomatic vertebral artery (VA) stenosis associated with bilateral carotid rete mirabile (CRM) has not been reported. We report the long-term clinical and angiographic outcome after stenting for symptomatic VA stenosis in the patient with bilateral CRM. This report is the first case that symptomatic VA stenosis associated with bilateral CRM was treated with stenting.
