What is microsurgical revascularization of proximal vertebral artery?
Microsurgical revascularization of proximal vertebral artery is a procedure used to improve blood flow in the vertebral artery, which is the main artery that supplies blood to the brain. This procedure is used to treat conditions such as stroke, aneurysm, or occlusion of the vertebral artery. It involves the use of a microscope and very small surgical instruments to open the artery and restore blood flow. The procedure is typically done in a hospital setting under general anesthesia. It can take several hours to complete, and patients may need to stay in the hospital for a few days after the surgery.
