    (A) Left vertebral angiogram shows middle basilar artery stenosis (arrow). (B) Radiograph shows navigation of 0.014-in. guidewire and AVE S7 coronary stent, Medtronic into left vertebral artery. Stent was smoothly navigated into middle basilar artery (arrow). (C) Final left vertebrobasilar control angiogram shows stent deployed into basilar artery. No residual stenosis is visible (arrow).
