Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has been reported to be useful in the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic arterial stenoses; however, arterial dissection with increased risk of stroke has limited its widespread implementation. Although vascular stenting has improved the outcome of similar procedures in the extracranial vasculature, its intracranial application has been limited by the lack of suitable stents. We report a case of successful percutaneous stenting of a symptomatic intracranial carotid artery using a second-generation, flexible, coronary stent.
据报道,经皮球囊血管成形术在治疗颅内动脉粥样硬化性狭窄方面是有效的;然而,动脉夹层形成以及中风风险增加限制了其广泛应用。尽管血管支架置入术改善了颅外血管类似手术的效果,但其在颅内的应用因缺乏合适的支架而受到限制。我们报告了一例使用第二代柔性冠状动脉支架成功对有症状的颅内颈动脉进行经皮支架置入术的病例。
