Randomized trial reports good short-term prognosis in patients with basilar artery stenosis, suggesting effective treatments.

This research aims to understand the clinical features and prognosis of basilar artery stenosis in patients.
Nine patients with angiographically documented basilar artery stenosis were evaluated.
Symptoms included transient ischemic attacks, dizziness, and unilateral weakness.
Prognosis assessment involved treatment with warfarin or platelet antiaggregants.
Six patients experienced transient ischemic attacks (TIAs); two had only TIAs.
Seven patients had posterior circulation strokes, with four preceded by TIAs.
The short-term prognosis was good, particularly with warfarin or antiaggregants, but specific statistics were not provided.

Pessin et al. (1987) studied this question.
