Abstract:
UNLABELLED:Intracranial angioplasty stenting may be an efficient therapy in patients with intracranial atherosclerotic symptomatic vertebrobasilar artery stenosis unresponsive to optimal medical therapy. We present our experience in this setting. RESULTS:The study included 12 cases (8 men, 4 women), with an age range of 43-78 years (mean 62.6 years). Intracranial stenosis that resulted in qualifying stroke or transient ischemic attack involved the vertebral artery (n = 4), lower basilar artery (n = 1) and mid basilar artery (n = 5). Tandem stenosis included the intracranial vertebral artery and basilar artery (n = 1) and both intracranial vertebral arteries (n = 1). The degree of stenosis ranged between 70 and 90% in the basilar and vertebral arteries. Angioplasty + stenting was performed in all lesions. A successful procedure resulting in 30% of residual stenosis was found in 14 vessels. A periprocedural adverse event occurred in 1 case and was related to a brain hemorrhage. The mean patient follow-up was 15 +/- 3 months; 10 patients remained symptom free. All patients underwent a percutaneous endovascular balloon angioplasty and stent placement. CONCLUSIONS:This study supports the safety and the potential efficiency of stent-assisted angioplasty in patients resistant to optimal prevention. Randomized larger prospective trials are needed to confirm the benefit of this approach.
