Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the safety and short term outcome of stent assisted angioplasty for extracranial carotid stenosis. Methods From October 2000 to September 2002, 93 cases of extracranial carotid stenosis, including 86 cases of carotid bifurcation stenoses, 4 of extracranial internal carotid stenoses, 2 of common carotid stenoses and 1 of functional external carotid stenosis, were treated by self expandable stent placement and angioplasty. Results Stent placement and angioplasty were successfully administered in all the 93 patients. The average stenosis rate was reduced from (79.5?14.6)% before treatment to (11.2?7.8)% after stent assisted angioplasty. There were only 1 case of TIA (1.1%) and 1 case of minor stroke (1.1%) during the operation, without mortality or major stroke. No cerebral ischemic attach occurred in the 91 patients during clinical follow up for a period of 3 25 months with an average of 7.9 months. Twenty nine patients were angiographically followed up 6 months after treatment with only one asymptomatic restenosis (3.4%). Conclusions Endovascular stent assisted angioplasty for extracranial stenosis is safe and effective with considerable good short term outcome.
