BACKGROUND Osteoporosis is the leading cause of vertebral fractures.Dual-energy X-ray absor-ptiometry(DXA)and radiographs are traditionally used to detect osteoporosis and vertebral fractures/deformities.Magnetic reso...
Background:Trials of endovascular therapy for basilar artery occlusion,including vertebral occlusion extending into the basilar artery,have shown inconsistent results.We aimed to pool data to estimate safety and effic...

BACKGROUND Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures(OVCFs)contribute to back pain and functional limitations in older individuals,with percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)emerging as a minimally invasive treatment.How...
Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of unilateral vertebral artery V4 segment occlusive lesions(severe stenosis or occlusion),where the contralateral vertebral artery can be compensated through blood flo...
BACKGROUND Although percutaneous vertebral augmentation(PVA)is a commonly used procedure for treating vertebral compression fracture(VCF),the risk of vertebral refracture should be considered.Chronic kidney disease-mi...
