The longstanding benefits of percutaneous angioplasty and stenting in coronary artery disease, where atherosclerosis is the overarching cause in nearly all cases, provided a compelling rationale for exploring similar interventions in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis.

IntroductionVertebral artery stenting represents a viable option in treating symptomatic vertebral artery atherosclerotic stenosis. We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty).

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerosis‐related large vessel occlusion (ICAS‐LVO) is a common cause of failed mechanical thrombectomy (MT) in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) [1]. Treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting and/or angioplasty has shown promising outcomes, but diagnosing ICAS‐LVO during MT can be challenging [2, 3].

Most respondents (86%) preferred acute treatment of ICAS‐LVO with rescue stenting (RS)±angioplasty. Fear of hemorrhagic complications (74%) was the most compelling reason not to perform RS±angioplasty. Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print.

For decades, the ACAS (Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis Study) and ACST (Asymptomatic Carotid Surgery Trial) trials provided most of the evidence supporting endarterectomy for patients with asymptomatic high-grade stenosis who were otherwise good candidates for surgery.

We assessed the clinical outcomes of endovascular treatment in acute large vessel occlusion (LVO) strokes caused by ICAD and compared them with large vessel occlusion strokes not associated with intracranial atherosclerosis (non-ICAD LVO).Methods:Our

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerosis (ICAS) is a leading global cause of stroke. The role of intracranial stenting in ICAS remains uncertain. The VISSIT trial found an increased 12‐month risk of TIA/CVA in the same territory, as well as an increased 30‐day risk of any TIA/CVA, when a stenting was used in patients with ICAS [2].
