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.

Abstract TP220: Intracranial Dotter Angioplasty Using Tenzing for Symptomatic Atherosclerotic Stenosis: Initial Experience

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP220-ATP220, February 1, 2024. Introduction:Traditional endovascular treatment for acutely symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) includes balloon angioplasty and stenting. mm) outer diameter, which may enable catheter-mediated Dotter angioplasty of ICAD, or Tenzing-plasty.

Abstract 044: Single?Step Intracranial Angioplasty followed by Atlas Stent Deployment Through Mini Trek Rx Balloon

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. The inclusion criteria were consecutive large vessel occlusion stroke patients in whom single step MINI TREK RX balloon angioplasty followed by Neuroform Atlas intracranial stent deployment was performed without using ELW (Figure‐1).

Abstract 132: Angioplasty and Stenting for Symptomatic Vertebral Artery Atherosclerotic Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta?Analysis

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. We included articles reporting patients > 18 years old with symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenoses due to atherosclerosis treated with stenting (with or without angioplasty).

Abstract TP248: Factors associated with Silent Brain Infarcts after the Middle Cerebral Artery Stenting or Balloon Angioplasty

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 56, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP248-ATP248, February 1, 2025. Objective:Silent brain infarctions (SBIs), which appear as dot-like lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) after endovascular procedures, are associated with an increased risk of subsequent stroke, dementia and cognitive decline.

Abstract WMP88: Intraarterial Tirofiban Through Deployed Stent-Retriever Bailout: A Potential Alternative to Angioplasty and Stenting

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page AWMP88-AWMP88, February 1, 2024. Background:In stroke patients undergoing EVT, angioplasty and stenting (A&S) has been described as a bailout technique when thrombectomy fails or intracranial stenosis is suspected. In 4 cases (28.6%) A&S was finally performed.

Abstract 010: Technical Approaches for Intracranial Atherosclerotic Disease Large Vessel Occlusion Strokes

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue S2 , November 1, 2023. IntroductionThe optimal management strategy for large vessel occlusion strokes (LVOS) from intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) remains debated. Endovascular intervention was defined as either angioplasty, stenting, or a combination of both.
