Interestingly, while rates of all-cause mortality did not differ significantly between PCI and CABG groups, PCI was associated with lower early stroke rates. Among the patients included, those with diabetes exhibited higher rates of adverse events, including death, spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI), and repeat revascularization.

Recent research has identified venous sinus stenosis as a cause of IIH, a common treatment of which is venous stenting and angioplasty. Ophthalmology consult revealed bilateral papilledema, upon which an MRI and MRV revealed venous stenosis.

Rates of stroke within 1 year were lower with PCI versus CABG in the entire population, with no heterogeneity based on diabetes status (PintHR=0.51). Rates of all-cause mortality did not differ after PCI versus CABG in those with (84/563 [15.3%] versus 74/541 [14.1%]; hazard ratio, 1.11 [95% CI, 0.82–1.52]) PintHR=0.87) diabetes.

IntroductionIntracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) is one of the most prevalent causes of stroke across the world, with a high morbidity and mortality rate. The primary endpoint was composite of 1‐year stroke, ICH, and/or death.
