Seven years' follow-up of comparative study between stenting and medication for treatment of symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery stenosis.

Conclusion ESAA has a long-term effect in the treatment of symptomatic moderate and severe vertebrobasilar artery stenosis. It is superior to medication therapy in preventing posterior circulation ischemia (PCI), but a larger sample size is still needed to confirm the study.
