Neurointerventional therapy for compensatory left inferior thyroid artery and left vertebral artery:a case report
The vertebral arteries and the thyrocervical trunk are branches of the subclavian artery.The vertebral artery travels upward in the skull where the 2 vertebral arteries converge to form the basilar artery,which supplies blood to the brain.Patients with vertebral artery stenosis and occlusion may have neurological symptoms such as insufficient blood supply to the brain and numbness in the limbs.The inferior thyroid artery compensates for the vertebral artery blood supply,which is rare in clinical practice,and its treatment is controversial.In this paper,a case of neurointerventional therapy in which the left inferior thyroid artery converged with the left vertebral artery to compensate for the intracranial blood supply is reported.
