Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinic effect of intravascular stent angioplasty for extracranial internal carotid artery dissection(ICAD).Methods From July 2015 to December 2016, 25 cases of patients with extracranial ICAD were admitted into our hospital.Among them, there were 15 cases of head and neck pain,12 cases with transient ischemic or cerebral infarction symptoms (limb hemiplegia.etc.),6 cases of Horner syndrome,1 case with pulsatile tinnitus and syncope,2 cases with no obvious clinical symptoms which were found by the neck vascular ultrasound accidentally.All patients were treated with intravascular stent angioplasty.Calculated the degree of stenosis through digital subtraction angiography(DSA),measured the blood flow velocity with transcranial doppler(TCD),and observed the clinical manifestations.Reviewed those patients after six months.Results Totally 24 patients with ICAD fulfilled the intravascular stent angioplasty with no complications such as lining damage,bleeding and embolism.And one patient with ICAD abandoned intravascular stent angioplasty for the vascular is too circuity.DSA showed the average artery stenosis decreased from (76.70±10.57)% preoperatively to (11.07±4.18)% immediately after operation,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).TCD measured the peak systolic velocity (PSV) of internal carotid artery stenosis segment,and the PSV changed from (189.55±54.27)cm/s averagely before operation to (88.41±17.06)cm/s on average one week after operation.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Reviewed the head and neck CT angiography (CTA) after 6 months.There were 23 cases without new stenosis and 1 case had stent restenosis compared with CTA immediately after operation.Symptoms of 19 cases obviously remitted or disappeared,4 cases partially remitted,and recurrence occured in 1 patient.There was no appearance of infarction and other serious complications.Conclusion The intravascular stent angioplasty is relatively safe and effective for extracranial ICAD, which can remit the degree of stenosis,slow down the blood flow and relieve the clinical symptoms with low recent recurrence rate and adverse reaction.But it does not apply to patients with severe vascular circuity.
