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 ...

Intracranial Angioplasty and Stenting for Cerebrovascular Disease

Neurologic Clinics, 2006
The use of stent-assisted techniques to manage a variety of cerebrovascular conditions has exploded in recent years. Although the safety of devices is expected to continue to improve, the absence of scientific validation remains an issue in many indications.

Intracranial Angioplasty and Stenting in the Awake Patient

Journal of Neuroimaging, 2006
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. Endovascular treatment for intracranial atherosclerosis is evolving, but complications remain an issue. Most interventions are performed under general anesthesia, preventing intraprocedural clinical evaluations. We describe our approach to intracranial angioplasty and stenting, using local rather than general anesthesia,

Percutaneous intracranial stent placement for aneurysms

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2003
Object. Intracranial stent placement combined with coil embolization is an emerging procedure for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. The authors report their results using intracranial stents for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Methods. A prospectively maintained database was reviewed to identify all patients with intracranial aneurysms ...

Intracranial Angioplasty and Stenting

2017
Medical management is the first line of treatment for intracranial stenosis. However, in the face of patients becoming symptomatic despite best medical management, the risk of stroke may be as high as 50%. In such a subgroup of patients, intracranial angioplasty and stenting remains a consideration.

Stenting as Monotherapy for Uncoilable Intracranial Aneurysms

Operative Neurosurgery, 2013
Small, blister-like aneurysms (BLAs), by virtue of their unique morphology, are difficult to treat with conventional modalities. The use of oversized self-expanding stents as monotherapy for BLAs is a relatively new and promising concept that warrants further investigation.To clarify the role of oversized self-expanding stents as monotherapy for BLAs ...

Stent-assisted angioplasty for intracranial atherosclerosis

Neuroradiology, 2002
We report on two patients with intracranial atherosclerosis of the carotid artery or vertebral artery treated with stent-assisted angioplasty. Both patients have severe intracranial atherosclerosis (>70%) with refractory symptoms despite optimal medical treatment.

Angiographic perfusion imaging of intracranial stenting

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2018
Two-dimensional angiographic perfusion imaging (2DAP) is a new technique permitting perfusion imaging during angiography, and has been used to study cerebral vasospasm. Here we report our experience with this technique following angioplasty and stent placement in a patient with symptomatic and medically refractory stenosis of the right supraclinoid ...

Intracranial Stenting of Atherosclerotic Stenoses*

Clinical Neuroradiology, 2009
The purpose of this review article is to give an overview of the current development of intracranial stenting for treatment of atherosclerotic stenoses. Natural history and methods for diagnostic imaging are described as basis for the indication for endovascular treatment. Target group are patients with high-grade symptomatic stenoses > 70%.

Intracranial posterior circulation stenting

Neurology, 2007
There is debate about the indications for and efficacy of angioplasty and stenting vs surgery for treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis. Ongoing randomized clinical trials may help guide future therapy. Data are becoming available regarding endovascular angioplasty and stenting for treatment of extracranial and ...
