Popis: Abstract Purpose To investigate the safety and efficacy of Enterprise stent angioplasty and risk factors for the prognoses in treating symptomatic severe posterior circulation atherosclerotic stenosis (SSPCAS). Materials and methods Patients with SSPCAS who were treated with the Enterprise stent angioplasty were retrospectively enrolled. The clinical data, peri-procedural complications, postoperative residual stenosis, in-stent restenosis and recurrent stroke at follow-up were analyzed. Results 262 patients with 275 stenotic lesions treated with the Enterprise stent angioplasty were enrolled. The stenosis degree was reduced from 86.3 ± 6.2% before to 19.3 ± 5.4% after stenting. Complications occurred in 14 (5.3%) patients. Clinical follow-up was performed in 245 (93.51%) patients for 16.5 ± 7.3 months. During 1 year follow-up, 7 patients (2.9%) had recurrent symptoms, including 4 patients with stenting in the intracranial vertebral artery and 3 in the basilar artery. Imaging follow-up was conducted in 223 (85.11%) patients. In-stent restenosis was present in 35 patients (15.7%), with the restenosis rate of 26.4% (n = 23) in the intracranial vertebral artery, which was significantly (P
