Abstract:
In-stent restenosis occurs in approximately 30% of patients after receiving a Wingspan stent to treat symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis. This report describes a 55-year-old man with intracranial atherosclerotic internal carotid artery terminus stenosis who developed significant in-stent restenosis. Follow-up angiogram 5 years later demonstrated the regression of restenosis without invasive intervention.
