Abstract
Surgery on the cervical V.A. may be discussed to treat different pathological states as described in the previous chapters; but there are two principal indications for this surgery:
-
to spare the V. A. in case of involvement by any lesion which must be removed
-
to restore V.A. flow which has been compromised and thereby prevent ischemic events in the vertebro-basilar territory.
