Effect of a Balloon-Expandable Intracranial Stent vs Medical Therapy on Risk of Stroke in Patients with Symptomatic Intracranial Stenosis
JAMA 313:1240-1248, Zaidat, O.O.,et al, 2015
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Among patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis, the use of a balloon-expandable stent compared with medical therapy resulted in an increased 12-month risk of added stroke or TIA in the same territory, and increased 30-day risk of any stroke or TIA. These findings do not support the use of a balloon-expandable stent for patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.
