The short and medium term efficacy and safety of symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis stenting
Abstract：Objective To explore the short and medium term efficacy and safety of symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis stenting .Methods 64 patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis were treated with medi-cation(medication group, n=38) or intracranial arterial stenting(stent group, n=26).NIHSS(US National Stroke Scale) scores and ADL(activities of daily living) scores were compared between the two groups before and after the treatment.The rates of clinical events ( including cerebral hemorrhage , cerebral infarction and death ) were also as-sessed and compared between the two groups with a follow-up of three months after the treatment .Results NIHSS scores and ADL scores were significantly higher in the stent group than those in the medication group ( P<0.05 ) . There is no significant difference in the rates of clinical events between the two groups ( P>0.05 ) .Conclusion Symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis stenting is more safe and effective than medication for the treatment of symp -tomatic intracranial arterys tenting .
