Computed tomography angiography, perfusion computed tomography, and a drug-eluting stent for the treatment of in-stent restenosis of the middle cerebral artery

Abstract: The authors report a case of in-stent restenosis (ISR) of the middle cerebral artery (MCA) following bare-metal stent (BMS) deployment and subsequent treatment using a drug-eluting stent (DES). This 65-year-old woman presented with frequent transient ischemic attacks. Initial studies revealed occlusion of the left internal carotid artery and severe stenosis of the right MCA with decreased cerebral perfusion in the bilateral MCA territories. Stent-assisted angioplasty of the right MCA was performed using a BMS,… Show more

“…Delayed acute stent thrombosis is, however, one of the issues with DES [13]. For intracranial indications, excellent follow-up results with DES have been reported [14], including the treatment of ISR after BMS deployment [15]. As a major drawback, DES are significantly less flexible than BMS, leaving many intracranial arteries just unreachable.…”

“…The optimal treatment strategy for intracranial ISR remains unclear. Endovascular treatment is a treatment option for severe or symptomatic ISR, but few reports have specifically focused on the safety and efficacy of its use for intracranial ISR 12 23 24. We therefore conducted this study to evaluate the periprocedural safety and long-term efficacy of endovascular therapy for intracranial ISR.…”
