TREATMENT OF SYMPTOMATIC MIDDLE CEREBRAL ARTERY STENOSIS WITH BALLOON-MOUNTED STENTS

Abstract

Primary stenting of symptomatic middle cerebral artery stenosis can be performed with high success and low complication rates. Randomized clinical studies are warranted to compare the safety and efficacy of various endovascular revascularization techniques with maximal medical therapy in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerosis.
