The IH Registry on Use of the Wingspan Stent for Symptomatic 70-99% Intracranial Arterial Stenosis Neurol 70:1518-1524, Zaidat,O.O.u,et al, 2008 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract The use of a Wingspan stent in patients with severe intracranial stenosis is relatively safe with high rate of technical success with moderately high rate of restenosis. Comparison of the event rates in high-risk patients in Warfarin-Aspirin Symptomatic Intracranial Disease (WASID) vs this registry do not rule out either that stenting could be associated with a substantial relative risk reduction (e.g. 50%) or has no advantage compared with medical therapy. A randomized trial comparing stenting with medical therapy is needed.
