BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The patency of intracranial perforating arteries after stent
placement is unknown despite the general clinical use of intracranial arterial stenting …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The recent advent of flexible stents has enabled their
application in intracranial atherosclerotic disease. However, it is unclear whether perforating …

PURPOSE To evaluate the hemodynamics and tissue response associated with stent
placement in low-flow-velocity arteries. METHODS Six self-expanding nitinol stents (5.5 mm …

OBJECTIVE: One concern with respect to stent procedures performed to treat patients with
intracranial lesions is the fate of normal major arterial branches after stents are placed …

Object. No animal model currently exists for the examination of time-dependent histological
changes occurring in intracranial vessels after endoluminal stent placement. The authors' …

Background and Purpose—Stroke rates in patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis
may be as high as 10% to 24% per year on medical therapy. This multicenter …

We describe an endovascular technique in which covered stents were used to occlude a
parent vessel. In one patient, with a giant paraclinoid aneurysm, a Gortex-covered Palmaz …

✓ The authors report initial results and follow up using stent placement to treat
atherosclerotic stenosis in vertebral arteries. Three patients with severe atherosclerotic …

Object. The authors investigated the feasibility, safety, and short-term outcome of stent
treatment for intracranial aneurysms, stenoses, and dissections. Methods. One hundred …

With great interest, we read the 2 articles documenting delayed migration of the self-
expanding intracranial microstent—the Enterprise (Cordis, Miami Lakes, Florida). 1, 2 …
