Intracranial angioplasty and stent placement for cerebral atherosclerosis.
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses have been estimated to account for 8%-10% of all ischemic strokes. A substantial number of patients fail the best medical treatment, which includes control of vascular risk factors and administration of antithrombotics (platelet-active drugs or warfarin), statins, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors. In these patients, angioplasty with stent placem...
متن کاملIntracranial balloon angioplasty of acute terminal internal carotid artery occlusions.
Acute embolic occlusion of the intracranial internal carotid bifurcation is associated with a poor prognosis. Recanalization rates of this lesion with intravenous or intraarterial thrombolysis are exceedingly low. We describe the use of balloon angioplasty after failed thrombolysis to achieve immediate recanalization of acute carotid T occlusions in two patients. At 1-month follow-up, both pati...
متن کاملMultiple profressive intracranial arterial occlusions.
Multiple Progressive Intracranial A rterial Occlusions • A 30-year-old woman experienced a series of strokes over a period of three months. Radiographical studies showed evidence of occlusive disease of the cerebral arteries and a rich collateral circulation typical of multiple progressive intracranial arterial occlusive disease. At autopsy, the involved cerebral arteries showed marked fibrosis...
متن کاملAngioplasty and stent placement in intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses and dissections.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stent placement has been shown to increase the safety and effectiveness of balloon angioplasty in cervical carotid disease. Here, the authors investigated the feasibility, safety, and short-term outcome of stent-assisted angioplasty for the treatment of intracranial stenoses. METHODS Thirty-four patients (age range, 12-77 years; mean age, 54 years) with symptomatic intr...
متن کاملHyperperfusion syndrome after intracranial angioplasty and stent placement.
Hyperperfusion Syndrome After Intracranial Angioplasty and Stent Placement To the Editor: Rezende et al1 incorrectly state that there is no prior report in the literature of hyperperfusion syndrome after stent revascularization of the intracranial vertebral artery. In fact, a nearly identical case was published with imaging proof of hyperperfusion based on cerebral blood flow (Figure) nearly 6 ...
