66 years old vertebral artery stent surgery after the brain stem thrombosis, consider the large artery atherosclerosis, cardiogenic embolism, and small artery occlusion and other causes.
1. Atherosclerosis of large arteries: the mechanism leading to cerebral infarction is mainly thrombosis, followed by arterial occlusion, so when the patient develops vertebral artery atherosclerosis, it is easy to secondary brainstem thrombosis after surgery.
2. Cardiogenic embolism: when the 66-year-old patient has the etiology of cardiogenic embolism, such as atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, postoperative heart valve surgery, infective endocarditis, myocardial infarction and other diseases, it is easy to make cardiogenic embolism through the blood circulation, leading to cerebral infarction.
3. Small artery occlusion: vitellogenic lesions of small arteries in the brainstem caused by hypertension, microvascular lesions caused by diabetes mellitus and small artery occlusion caused by vasculitis and other diseases can lead to cerebral infarction.
There are other reasons for thrombosis in the brainstem after vertebral artery stenting at the age of 6. It is recommended to consult a doctor in time to find out the cause and cooperate with the doctor for treatment in order to get the best prognosis.
