Summary: The selection of patients with severe vertebrobasilar artery stenosis for angioplasty is based mainly on clinical experience rather than on controlled data. We present a patient with severe vertebral artery stenosis in whom we could document the positive effect of angioplasty on posterior circulation hemodynamics by using transcranial Doppler sonography.
