Elective stenting of symptomatic middle cerebral artery stenosis.
Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has been found to be useful for the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic arterial stenosis. Nonetheless, an ongoing risk of this procedure is arterial dissection, which increases the hazards of acute closure, stroke, and restenosis. Stenting of the intracranial vasculature recently has been shown to be feasible in a variety of circumstances. To our knowledg...

متن کاملStenting for middle cerebral artery stenosis: inevitable but when and how.
Recent developments in stroke prevention have once more followed the cardiac paradigm, where removal of a symptomatic atherosclerotic source can improve clinical outcomes. Coronary artery stenting is now the mainstay of treatment of severe, symptomatic coronary artery disease. In the early 1990s, proof for the benefits of carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic extracranial atherosclerosis was p...
متن کاملStenting of symptomatic M1 stenosis of middle cerebral artery: an initial experience of 40 patients.
OBJECTIVE To assess the safety and clinical efficacy of stenting for patients with symptomatic M1 stenosis of middle cerebral artery (MCA), and to assess the significance of classification based on location, morphology, and access of intracranial stenosis (LMA classification) in MCA stenting. METHODS Forty patients with 42 symptomatic M1 stenoses refractory to medical therapy were enrolled in...
متن کاملMiddle cerebral artery stenosis: stenting is one of the options: no.
There is no doubt that stenting can widen a narrowed intracranial artery. However, serious questions remain about the role of this intervention in clinical practice. Medical technology often leaps into practice ahead of the science needed to support its widespread application. This is particularly common with new devices, which are not required to have demonstrated efficacy or safety with the s...
