Abstract
A review of a surgical experience with 23 patients with vertebral artery insufficiency
is presented. In addition to the well-recognized occlusions of the aortic arch and
its branches, attention is called to other causes of vertebral artery occlusion, namely,
bony spurs, kinking, and external fascial bands. The importance of complete arteriography
with rotational positions is stressed.
