Angioplasty With or Without Stenting for Intracranial Artery Stenosis
Stroke 37: 2858-2859, Cruz-Flores,S. &Diamond,A.L., 2006
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Angioplasty with or without stent placement for the prevention of stroke in patients with intracranial artery stenosis is feasible, although this procedure carries a significant morbidity and mortality risk. Evidence from randomized, controlled trials is needed to assess its safety and effectiveness in preventing recurrent territorial stroke before it is recommended for routine clinical practice.
