Abstract:
Objective To explore our clinical experience on treatment of intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis using multiple stents placement. Methods 17 stents were deployed into 12 arteries in 8 patients with intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis. We utilized self expanding stents in extracranial carotid arteries and balloon expanding stents for intracranial arteries or vertebral arteries. Results All procedures were performed successfully and all stenoses were dilated and improved. Short term follow up angiogram revealed only one vessel occlusion and no significant restenoses in other stented vessels together with no recurence of clinical symptoms. Conclusions Multiple stents placement is a valid alternative for the treatment of intracranial and extracranial arterial stenoses.
