  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Although previous reports have suggested “steal VBI” due to occlusive carotid artery diseases, there have been no reports that clearly define “steal VBI” from the viewpoint of cerebral hemodynamics. The authors presented two cases with “steal VBI” due to severe stenosis of the internal carotid artery. Both pa-tients had well-developed collateral circulation through the ipsilateral posterior communicating artery.Although no occlusive lesion was found in the vertebrobasilar system, blood flow studies revealed im-paired hemodynamics in the contralateral occipital lobe, which fact correlated with their neurological de-ficit, visual field disturbance. Carotid stenting markedly corrected the stenotic lesions, leading to neurolo-gical improvement. Follow-up blood studies showed normalization of hemodynamics in the contralateral occipital lobe. The findings strongly suggest that carotid surgery or stenting can improve cerebral hemody-namics in the carotid systems, resolving “steal VBI” due to developed collaterals from the posterior to the anterior circulation.
