Vertebral artery diameter is normally between 3 mm and 5 mm.
Later studies involving duplex ultrasound measurement of
vertebral artery blood flow during the performance of provocative positional tests have further cast doubt on the validity of the tests to determine the patency of the vertebral arteries and raised questions about their ability to detect impedance changes to cerebrovascular blood flow (Cote et al.

In 100% cases, it was closely related to

Twenty-five percent of ischemic strokes are caused by the vertebrobasilar system, whereas approximately one-fifth of posterior strokes are due to
