Histopathological evaluation of middle cerebral artery after percutaneous intracranial transluminal angioplasty.
BACKGROUND Intracranial atherosclerosis accounts for 8% to 10% of all ischemic strokes, and intracranial angioplasty is increasingly performed to treat stenotic lesions. We report an autopsy case and discuss the effects of intracranial angioplasty for atherosclerotic arteries. CASE DESCRIPTION A 77-year-old patient died 9 days after angioplasty of the left middle cerebral artery as a result o...
متن کاملDirect percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion.
PURPOSE We review our initial experience with direct percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) as a reperfusion treatment for acute occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. METHODS Ten patients in whom successful thrombolysis might not be expected because of the risk of hemorrhagic complications or reocclusion were treated with direct PTA. When early ischemic findings were present on the in...
متن کاملFollow-up Study after Intracranial Percutaneous Transluminal Cerebral Balloon Angioplasty.
SUMMARY To find the angiographic lesions specific characteristics appropriate for intracranial percutaneous transluminal cerebral angioplasty (PTCBA). Forty-two clinically symptomatic patients with 42 haemodynamically significant intracranial lesions (% diameter stenosis > 70) were treated by PTCBA between January 1992 and May 1996. Before the angioplasty treatment, the patients were classified...
متن کاملLong-Term Durability of Percutaneous Transluminal Angioplasty in Patients with Symptomatic Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is being increasingly used in the treatment of symptomatic middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis. We evaluated the long-term durability after PTA for symptomatic MCA stenosis. METHODS We analyzed consecutive patients included in our stroke database who were treated with angioplasty alone. The subjects without major periprocedu...
متن کاملIntracranial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for arteriosclerotic stenosis.
BACKGROUND Patients with intracranial arteriosclerotic disease have significant morbidity and mortality rates, and some are unresponsive to medical treatment and have unacceptable surgical risks. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of the intracranial vessels is a possible alternative to surgery. OBJECTIVES To present our experience with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and to summariz...
