Intracranial Revascularization Therapy: Angioplasty and Stenting.
Publication/Presentation Date
6-1-2004
Abstract
Depending on the population studied, intracranial atherosclerosis accounts for 10% to 29% of ischemic brain events. A significant number of patients with intracranial atherosclerosis continue to suffer from repeated strokes or transient ischemic attacks despite optimal medical management. In selected patients, intracranial angioplasty with or without stenting is a promising treatment option. Patient selection, careful periprocedural medical management, and a highly skilled neuroendovascular interventionalist are required in order to perform the procedure with an acceptable risk.
