Abstract

Vertebral artery disease is an often underdiagnosed and undertreated cause of posterior circulation ischemia. Revascularization of the vertebral circulation should be considered in patients refractory to medical therapy. Surgical and endovascular techniques are discussed and reviewed in the context of the location and type of vertebral artery disease.
