Impact of Posterior Communicating Artery on Basilar Artery Steno-Occlusive Disease JNNP 80:1390-1393, Hong,J.,et al, 2009 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Fetal-variant PcoA appears to act as a safeguard against ischaemic insult in acute stroke victims involving the brainstem with BA occlusive disease. This result can be explained by the fact that patients with fetal-variant PcoA have a smaller area of posterior circulation and a possibility of retrograde filling into the upper brainstem through the fetal-variant PcoA.
