Stent Design Lowers Angiographic but Not Clinical Adverse Events in Stenting of Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis – Results of a Single Center Study with 100 Consecutive Patients

Abstract

Despite a high technical success, the rate of clinical adverse events at 30 days after intracranial angioplasty and stenting is high independently of the stent design. Thus, further development of intracranial stent systems and careful patient selection are mandatory.
