Relationship between the geometry patterns of vertebrobasilar artery and atherosclerosis

Abstract Background The plaques at the dorsal or lateral wall of basilar artery (BA) are associated with pontine infarcts. We sought to explore the correlations between vertebrobasilar artery geometry and BA plaque locations. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the imaging and clinical data of 84 pa...
