Abstract T MP34: Perforator Proximity Is A Strong Independent Risk Factor For Peri-procedural Stroke In Intracranial Stenting For Atherosclerotic Disease With Aggressive Management Of Anti-platelet Therapy
Abstract:Introduction:
The majority of peri-procedural ischemic strokes in the SAMMPRIS trial were perforator strokes. Contemporary studies of intracranial stenting have not evaluated the proximity of atherosclerotic target lesions to major perforators.
Methods:
The current study evaluates a prospective aggressive anti-platelet therapy management approach at two institutions in a consecutive series of 158 patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic di… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
