| Popis: | Traditionally, the subject of revascularization of cerebral arteries for stroke prevention has been limited to discussions of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). More recently, endovascular therapy, particularly stenting, has become the focus of intense investigation. Probably, there is no better potential application for endovascular stenting than in the treatment of lesions involving the intracranial portions of the cerebral arterial vasculature. Indeed atherosclerotic pathology of these vessels seems to be associated with a significantly high risk for stroke, even when medical therapy is maximized. In addition, the evolution of technology and experience of the interventionalists have resulted in improved outcomes and has underscored the potential of treating these patients using endovascular techniques. The present is a summary of the current techniques and experience in the elective treatment of intracranial lesions using endovascular stenting. |
