Frequency and Predictors of Ultrasound‐Detected Extracranial Vertebral Artery Stenosis in a Sample of Non‐Western Population

2025Alexandria University

Abstract

The frequency of extracranial VA stenosis seems to be lower among Egyptians in comparison with Western cohorts. Among patients with carotid atherosclerosis or significant CCA/ICA stenosis and/or ischaemic vascular events in the posterior circulation, meticulous ultrasound examination of the VA is warranted to detect possibly underlying extracranial VA stenosis.
