Abstract

Objective: Study on results of intracranial stent placement in patients with cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack. Subject and method: 41 patients with cerebral infarction or transient ischemic attack did not improve with medical treatment, with intracranial stenosis over 70%. Result: remnant of the stenosis after the intervention was 21.19 ± 8.32%, cerebral hemorrhage was 2.44%, infarction with an average follow-up time of 14.92 months was 2.44%. Conclution: Stents may be used for intracranial stenosis in >70% of patients with ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack who have failed to respond to medical therapy.
