Recanalization of ICA stenoses was technically successful in 40 of 43 procedures (93%). Within the 30-day postinterventional period 1 death occurred (2.5%), and the combined stroke and death rate within follow-up was 5%. Except for 1 asymp tomatic ICA occlusion, no restenosis >/=70% occurred during follow-up. ICA stenting in symptomatic patients with a balanced surgical risk/benefit ratio is technically feasible, with a low periprocedural risk of stroke or death. Furthermore, the risk of future stroke and rate of significant restensosis during long-term follow-up appears to be low, suggesting that ICA stenting may be useful in carotid revascularization and stroke prevention. |
