Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the efficacy and the safety of intravascular therapy for cerebrovascular ischemic tandem stenosis.Methods:Clinical data of 35 patients with symptomatic anterior circulation and posterior circulation tandem stenosis who received intravascular therapy for two sites of stenosis at the same time at Department of Neurosurgery of Peking University First Hospital from January 2013 to December 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 27 males and 8 females,aged (65.6±9.4)years (range:47 to 81 years).There were 14 cases of anterior circulation tandem stenosis and 21 of posterior circulation tandem stenosis.The medical records were collected with emphasis on postoperative symptoms,imaging manifestations and modified Rankin scale(mRS) scores.Results:Sixty-eight stents were implants in to 35 patients,including 49 extracranial implants and 19 intracranial implants.The surgical success rate was 100%.The perioperative death rate was 0,and 1 patient(1/35,2.9%) had cerebral hemorrhage.All patients were followed up for 18 months.During 3 to 12 months after the intervention,1 case(1/35,2.9%) had stent restenosis,and 4 cases(4/35,11.4%) had persisted symptoms such as dizziness and weakness in limbs.All patients′mRS scores were ≤2. No new stroke occurred. During 12 to 18 months after the intervention,3 cases had in-stent restenosis,increasing the rate to 11.4% (4/35). The mRS scores of 32 patients(32/35,91.4%) were ≤2.Conclusion:Intravascular therapy for patients with symptomatic tandem stenosis is a feasible and safe procedure with good short-term outcomes.
