Five patients presented with ICA steno-occlusive lesions that involved tortuous segments not amenable to regular carotid stent placement and three patients presented with severe and complex proximal VA dissections.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n In all cases the procedures were considered technically successful. Flow diverter stent implant allowed recanalization of the treated vessels (stenosis of 89\u00b110.5% was improved to 26\u00b113%) without procedure related complications. At the 3 month clinical and radiological follow-up, patients either improved or remained stable, and showed stent patency. One patient presented with asymptomatic occlusion of the revascularized artery at 13\u2005months, emphasizing the need for prolonged antiplatelet therapy.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This preliminary series of patients with high risk steno-occlusive lesions affecting tortuous arterial segments or presenting with heavy thrombotic load managed by the implant of flow diverter stents shows that this approach is feasible, safe, and effective in achieving arterial recanalization. Further studies will elucidate the role of this technique in ischemic cerebrovascular settings.<\/jats:p>\n
