Wingspan stenting for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: clinical outcomes and risk factors for in-stent restenosis.
Intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS) is responsible for 9% to 37% of ischemic strokes. ⋯ Wingspan stenting may be effective for appropriately selected ICAS patients. Rapid balloon inflation and longer lengths of stenosis were independent risk factors for ISR.
