Objective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the results of treatment using stent-angioplasty for symptomatic middle cerebral arterial (MCA) stenosis and comparison of in-stent restenosis between drug-eluting stents (DES), bare metal coronary stents (BMS) and self-expanding stents (SES). Materials and Methods:From Jan. 2007 to June. 2012, 34 patients (mean age ± standard deviation: 62.9 ± 13.6 years) with MCA stenosis were treated. Inclusion criteria were acute infarction or transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) and angiographically proven symptom related severe stenosis. Stents used for treatment were DES (n=8), BMS (n=13) and SES (n = 13). National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) at admission was 2.5 ± 3.1 and mean stenosis rate was 79.0 ± 8.2%. Assessment of clinical and angiographic results was performed retrospectively. Results:Among 34 patients, periprocedural complications occurred in four cases (11.8%), however, only two cases (6.0%) were symptomatic. All patients were followed clinically (mean follow-up period; 40.7 ± 17.7 months) and 31 were followed angiographically (91.2%. 13.4 ± 8.5 months). There was no occurrence of repeat stroke in all patients; however, mild TIAs related to restenosis occurred in three of 34 patients (8.8%). The mean NIHSS after stent-angioplasty was 1.7 ± 2.9 and 0.8 ± 1.1 at discharge. The modified Rankin score (mRS) at discharge was 0.5 ± 0.9 and 0.3 ± 0.8 at the last clinical follow-up. In-stent restenosis over 50% occurred in five of 31 angiographically followed cases (16.1%), however, all of these events occurred only in patients who were treated with BMS or SES. Restenosis rate was 0.0% in the DES group and 20.8% in the other group (p = 0.562); it did not differ between BMS and SES (2/11 18.2%, 3/13 23.1%, p = 1.000). Conclusion:Stent-angioplasty appears to be effective for symptomatic MCA stenosis. As for restenosis, in our study, DES was presumed to be more effective than BMS and SES; meanwhile, the results did not differ between the BMS and SES groups.
