Abstract:
Objective To analyse the preliminary outcome and its relevant factors of endovascular stent assisted angioplasty for intracranial stenosis. Methods Sixty one atherosclerotic intracranial stenoses in 57 patients (23 stenoses in posterior and 38 in anterior circulation) were treated with endovascular angioplasty using balloon expandable coronary stents. Results Technical success was achieved in all patients, with no procedural and associated complications except one of intracranial hemorrhage. Angiographic results immediately after stenting suggested that the residual postprocedure stenosis was 0%～32% (mean 8.7%?4.4%), with significant reduction from preprocedure stenosis (74.5%?6.7%). The patients were clinically asymptomatic and had no recurrent TIA and stroke. Follow up angiogram in 43 patients revealed no restenosis (
