Abstract
|
|
|
|
Percutaneous balloon angioplasty has been reported to be useful in the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic arterial stenosis. However, arterial dissection with increased risk of acute closure and stroke has limited its widespread implementation. Stenting of the intracranial vasculature recently has been shown to be feasible in a variety of circumstance. However, stenting of middle cerebral artery has been limited because of difficulty with tracking stents across the carotid siphon. We report a case of successful percutaneous stenting of a symptomatic middle cerebral artery stenosis using a balloon-expandible flexible coronary stent.
