Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the result of percutaneous transluminal stenting angioplasty(PTSA) to high degree stenosis of internal carotid artery. Methods PTSA was attempted in eight patients with high degree stenosis of internal carotid artery from January 1998 to October 1999. Three types of stent were used for the procedure. After proper preparation, we selected different type of stent and special procedure method according to the patient's lesion. Results Nine stents were implanted in eight internal coratid arteries of nine patients. All cases were successful based on post procedure image, and recovery from neurologic symptoms was satisfactory. Conclusion (1) PTSA is a safe and reliable procedure to treat high degree stenosis of internal carotid artery. (2) It is important to select the appropriate type of stent and the special method according to the individual situation.
