Abstract:

Objective

To assess the safety,feasibility and efficacy of stenting for tandem stenoses of posterior circulation cerebral artery.

Methods

During the period from August 2006 to June 2010,a total of 16 patients with tandem stenoses of posterior circulation were treated with stenting or balloon dilation.Sixteen men with a mean age of 63±10(range:47~81)years were included.The technical success rate,perioperative complication and follow-up results were recorded and analyzed.

Results

Procedure was failed in one patient(stenosis of vertebral artery origin and basilar artery)because the stent could not cross the intracranial lesion.Complications were encountered in one patient.Clinical follow-up data were available in all patients(mean follow-up duration 10 months).Follow-up conventional angiography or CTA were available in 4 patients,and there was one stroke occurred during follow-up.

Conclusions

Stent-assisted angioplasty is a feasible and effective therapeutic option for tandem posterior circulation artery.Stenting for tandem stenoses of posterior circulation cerebral artery can be performed safely and effectively.
