Risk of cerebral angiography in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.
BACKGROUND A well-defined rate of adverse events following cerebral angiography in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis would be useful to physicians making decisions regarding imaging and treatment of these patients. We report the adverse events associated with angiography in patients who underwent single-vessel cerebral angiography as part of the study protocol in the Warfar...
متن کاملNatural history of stenosis from intracranial atherosclerosis by serial angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Knowledge of the natural history of stenoses due to intracranial atherosclerosis may be useful for evaluating possible treatments such as angioplasty. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed records over a 7-year period to identify patients with intracranial atherosclerotic stenoses and serial angiograms. Quantitative measurements of stenoses were made in a blinded manner, ...
متن کاملDecrease in circulating myeloid dendritic cell precursors in patients with intracranial large artery atherosclerosis.
Intracranial large artery atherosclerosis (ILAA) is a major cause of ischemic cerebrovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the levels of circulating dendritic cell precursors (DCP) could reflect the severity of intracranial large artery atherosclerosis (ILAA). For this purpose, a series of angiography were taken to determine the severity and extent of coronary arter...
متن کاملAnterior cerebral artery angioplasty for intracranial atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Angioplasty of the intracranial vasculature has been well described for the middle cerebral artery and carotid terminus, primarily in the setting of vasospasm following subarachnoid hemorrhage. Endovascular therapy for anterior cerebral artery stenosis has not heretofore been described. CASE REPORT We report the case of A1 segment angioplasty in a 77 year old man with presumed intr...
متن کاملInterventional Management of Intracranial Stenosis
Worldwide, intracranial atherosclerosis is the most common cause of ischemic stroke and is associated with a high risk of recurrence. Endovascular therapies including angioplasty and stent implantation may help in secondary stroke prevention due to intracranial stenosis, however rigorous appraisal of clinical efficacy is currently lacking. This review aims to introduce the basic concepts involv...
