Abstract:
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is the most common cause of ischemic stroke in Asians, and the middle cerebral artery (MCA) is its most common site. MCA stenosis can be divided into symptomatic or asymptomatic. The current endovascular treatment is mainly aimed at symptomatic stenosis. Early drug therapy can alleviate the clinical symptoms of patients and change its natural course to some extent. This article reviews the treatment of symptomatic MCA stenosis from two aspects: drug therapy and endovascular therapy.
