Complications Associated with Stenting for Cerebral Arteries

Abstract

We have experienced total 116 stenting for 102 of cranio-cephalic arteries and 14 of intracranial arteries including occlusive cerebrovascular diseases, aneurysms, and fistulas. Ten complications were encountered. Three were ischemic complication, four stent migration, two restenosis, and one aneurysmal perforation during coiling across the stent strut. The mechanism and preventive method of these complications were discussed in this paper.
