Radiology Rounds - March 2008 - Interventional Treatments for Ischemic Stroke

چکیده
Each year, more than 700,000 Americans have strokes. In about one-third of these cases, the cause is an occlusion in the internal carotid artery, middle cerebral or anterior cerebral arteries, vertebral artery, or basilar artery. Without recanalization, the outcome from these occlusions is devastating; this population accounts for all deaths due to ischemic stroke, 80% of those who go to rehabilitation centers, and 90% of the societal costs of strokes.

متن کاملIntracranial 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...
