But high rate of restenosis development is leading problem of endovascular intervention. In review the problem of restenosis development after vertebral artery proximal part stenting is being discussed as well as its clinical onset, possible cause and factors promoting its formation and probable direction of this problem solving.</p> <p> </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Баллонная ангиопластика со стентированием является современным, малоинвазивным и безопасным методом лечения стенозов позвоночных артерий, имеющим высокий уровень технического успеха. Однако высокая частота развития рестенозов является ведущей проблемой эндоваскулярного вмешательства. В представленном обзоре рассматривается проблема развития рестеноза при стентировании проксимального отдела позвоночных артерий, а также его клинические проявления, возможные причины и факторы, способствующие его образованию, и вероятные направления решения этой проблемы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>vertebrobasilar artery insuffici ency</kwd><kwd>vertebral artery stenosis</kwd><kwd>stenting</kwd><kwd>restenosis</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>вертебрально-базилярная недостаточность</kwd><kwd>стеноз позвоночной артерии</kwd><kwd>стентирование</kwd><kwd>рестеноз</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Бокерия Л.А., Алекян Б.Г., Голухова Е.З. и др.
