Association between the vertebrobasilar artery geometry and basilar artery plaques determined by high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging

Abstract Background Atherosclerotic plaques are often present in regions of arteries with complicated flow patterns. Vascular morphology plays important role in hemodynamics. In this study, we investigated the relationship between the geometry of the vertebrobasilar artery system and presence of bas...
