Submaximal Angioplasty for Severe Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis: Benefit of Revascularization at Last

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue 4 , Page e114-e118, April 1, 2025. Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis is a leading cause of stroke with a significant risk of recurrent ischemic events despite aggressive medical management. However, 3 percutaneous angioplasty and stenting randomized trials showed negative or neutral results.

Patterns of Care in the Diagnosis and Management of Intracranial Atherosclerosis?Related Large?Vessel Occlusion: The Rescue?LVO Survey

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. 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.

William M. Feinberg Lecture: Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis: Current and Future Considerations

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Asymptomatic high-grade carotid stenosis is an important therapeutic target for stroke prevention. Advances in treatments against atherosclerosis have driven down the rates of stroke in patients managed without revascularization.
