✦ Synopsis

The authors perform vertebral angiography with three techniques: 1. pereutaneous puncture of the vertebral artery; 2. percutaneous puncture of the brachial artery; 3. catheterization via the femoral artery. In both vascular and neoplastic lesions of the posterior fossa the best results are obtained with the first technique, which, in expert hands, gives the same percentage of successful examinations as the other two methods. In the great majority of cases direct pereutaneous vertebral angiography must be performed on both sides.
