What are the predictors of clinical outcome and mortality in vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia?
Wolfe et al. (2008) conducted a study to identify predictors of clinical outcome and mortality in vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia diagnosed by magnetic resonance angiography. They found that the predictors were age, gender, risk factors, and co-morbid conditions. They also found that the presence of an aneurysm was associated with a poorer outcome and an increased risk of mortality.
