Oneof the criteria for evaluating the efficacy of surgical treatment isquality of life, which is an integral indicator of overall health.<br /><strong>Objective.</strong>The study purpose was to investigate quality of life inpatients who underwent transluminal balloon angioplasty withvertebral artery stenting.<br /><strong>Materials and methods.</strong>The study involved 50 patients with hemodynamicallysignificant stenoses of the extracranial part of thevertebral arteries, who underwent transluminal balloon angioplastywith vertebral artery stenting. A SF-36 questionnaire wasused to evaluate quality of life.<br /><strong>Results.</strong>Before vertebral artery stenting, low quality-of-life indicatorswere observed in a cohort of patients included in the study.The quality-of-life indicators associated with the physical andpsychological conditions improved in the patients 6 months aftervertebral artery stenting.<br /><strong>Conclusion.</strong>Quality of life is an independent objective multifactorindicator reflecting surgical treatment outcomes.</p>vertebral artery stentingquality of lifeстентирование позвоночных артерийкачество жизни[Кунцевич Г.И., Танашян М.М., Скрылев С.И. и др.
