摘要: Background and Purpose— Medical treatment of symptomatic intracranial stenosis carries a high risk stroke. This study was done to evaluate the clinical angiographic outcomes after angioplasty for this disease. Methods— A total 120 patients with 124 stenoses were treated by primary angioplasty. All had neurologic symptoms (stroke or transient ischemic attack) attributable ≥50%. Angiograms evaluated before degree stenosis. Results— Pretreatment varied from 50% 95% (mean 82.2±10.2). Post-treatment 0% 90% 36.0±20.1). There 3 strokes 4 deaths (all neurological) within 30 days procedure, giving combined periprocedural stroke death rate 5.8%. 116 (96.7%) available mean follow-up time 42.3 months. 6 who in territory 5 additional ot...
