Intracranial Hemorrhage after Stenting and Angioplasty of Extracranial Carotid Stenosis AJNR 21:1911-1916, Morrish,W.,et al, 2000 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Intracranial hemorrhage can occur after carotid angioplasty and stenting. We speculate that this represents cerebral hyperperfusion injury. The 3.8% incidence of cerebral hemorrhage observed is approximately sixfold greater than that repor ted post endarterectomy (0.6%) (95% CI, 0.2-8.7%). This is not statistically significant in this small study group. This trend may reflect patient selection, different anticoagulation protocols, and/or study population size. Additional data are needed to determine the safety and efficiency of carotid stenting as a treatment for carotid stenosis.
