Epidemiology of Intracranial Stenosis

Journal of Neuroimaging, 2009
ABSTRACT Intracranial stenosis is a common etiology for ischemic stroke. Due to limitations of imaging studies, there are limited data on the prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic intracranial stenosis. Intracranial stenosis is more prevalent in Asian, Hispanic, and African‐American populations. The reported proportion of patients with symptomatic

Intracranial Arterial Stenosis

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2014
Intracranial arterial stenosis (IAS) is usually attributable to atherosclerosis and corresponds to the most common cause of stroke worldwide. It is very prevalent among African, Asian, and Hispanic populations. Advancing age, systolic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome are some of

Management of Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis

Current Cardiology Reports, 2016
Intracranial atherosclerotic disease is a common cause of stroke worldwide, causing approximately 10 % of strokes in the USA and up to 50 % in Asian populations. Recurrent stroke risks are particularly high in those with a stenosis of 70 % or more and a recent transient ischemic attack or stroke.

Carotid Stenosis and Intracranial Emboli

Radiology, 1971
Middle cerebral branch occlusions were evaluated relative to lesions in the extracranial carotid arteries, showing increased incidence in patients with irregular and ulcerated plaques compared to those with normal or smoothly stenosed arteries.

Treatment of intracranial arterial stenosis

Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics, 2006
Intracranial stenosis accounts for 8-10% of ischemic strokes in the USA. Treatment of intracranial stenosis with extracranial-to-intracranial bypass surgery was investigated as a therapy in the 1980s, but was shown to be no better than aspirin alone.

Angioplasty and stenting of intracranial stenosis

Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2005
The review summarizes recent advances in angioplasty and stenting of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.Several single-center studies show that, with the technological advancements in device technology, intracranial stenting is feasible even in the distal internal carotid artery or middle cerebral artery.

Intracranial Stenting for Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis

2013
Intracranial stenting presents an option for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial stenosis refractory to medical treatment. Intracranial stenosis accounts for up to 10 % of ischemic strokes and represents a very morbid disease, with an expected 1-year stroke or death rate in excess of 12 % and as high as 23 %, despite medical treatment with ...

Endovascular Treatment of Intracranial Stenosis

World Neurosurgery, 2011
The Gateway balloon-Wingspan stent system is the first, and currently the only "on-label" device for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial stenosis in the United States. In initial single-arm studies, investigators have indicated that this system can be used for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease with high levels of ...

Diagnosis and Quantitation of Intracranial Stenosis

Journal of Neuroimaging, 2009
ABSTRACT Noninvasive tests, transcranial Doppler, magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomography angiography, and invasive catheter angiography are available to diagnose the presence and quantify the severity of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

Current Management of Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2011
Intracranial arterial stenosis (IAS) is the cause of about 10% of all ischemic strokes in the United States, but may account for about 40% of strokes in some populations. After a stroke or transient ischemic attack due to IAS, patients face a 12% annual risk of recurrent stroke on medical therapy, with most strokes occurring in the first year. Warfarin
