“…Endovascular intervention utilizing stents in conjunction with PTA, however, is evolving in the literature as a promising treatment option for extracranial vertebral artery stenosis, particularly at the vertebral artery origin. A growing number of case series describe primary deployment of stents to lesions with 50% or greater occlusion, with technical success rates of 94-100% in improvement of angiographic appearance of the stenoses [35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44]. No intra-operative deaths and low rates of major procedural complications (0-3.4%) and of recurrent symptoms (1.7-3%) on current short-to intermediate-term (3-37 months) follow-up have been reported.…”

“…4 -6 On the other hand, the endovascular management of intracranial disease is associated with an appreciable number of potential complications, including local thrombosis, thromboembolism, vessel ruptures or dissections. To date, the composite stroke and death rates during intracranial stenting in case series and small trials have varied widely, ranging from 0% 7,8 in some to more than 30% in others. 9,10 Especially the latter complication rates raise the question about whether intracranial stenting improves the natural course of this disease.…”
