The use of stents in the intracranial circulation has been made possible by rapid developments in stent technology in recent years. Considerable improvements in stent design, delivery devices, and technique have expanded the use of stenting to the treatment of intracranial disorders. This article reviews the indications for endovascular stenting for cerebral aneurysms and intracranial atherosclerosis and describes the peri-procedure management and technique applied at the Department of Neurosurgery at the University at Buffalo.
