Endoluminal stenting effectively treats atherosclerotic vertebral artery disease, achieving 100% procedural success. This safe and durable option offers a low recurrence rate for patients with vertebral artery stenosis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Atherosclerotic vertebral artery disease can lead to significant neurological symptoms and stroke.
  • Endoluminal stenting is an emerging treatment option for managing these complex lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoluminal stenting for atherosclerotic vertebral artery disease.
  • To assess procedural success, clinical outcomes, and restenosis rates.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 38 vessels in 32 patients undergoing endoluminal stenting for vertebral artery disease.
  • Indications included various neurological symptoms and asymptomatic critical stenosis.
  • Success was defined as < 20% residual stenosis without stroke or death.

Main Results:

  • 100% procedural success was achieved in all 32 patients.
  • One patient experienced a transient ischemic attack post-procedure.
  • At a mean follow-up of 10.6 months, 97% of patients were asymptomatic, with one case of in-stent restenosis successfully treated.

Conclusions:

  • Endoluminal stenting is a safe, effective, and durable treatment for atherosclerotic vertebral artery stenosis.
  • Primary stent placement is a viable option for managing these lesions.
  • The low recurrence rate supports its use in clinical practice.
