All patients underwent pretreatment (\u2265 1 week) combination oral antiplatelet (clopidogrel and aspirin) therapy and long-term (6-month) combination oral antiplatelet (clopidogrel and aspirin) therapy after stents were placed. The procedure involved selecting stents of the same size as the diameter of the target vessel and slowly inflating the balloon to its nominal pressure. One-year angiography and midterm clinical follow-up data were obtained.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p>The stents were successfully placed in all patients without any perioperative complication. The mean preoperative stenosis rate of 81% decreased to 4% after the stent was placed. Nine patients who underwent follow-up angiography (one patient refused) at a mean of 12.3 months (range 10\u201319 months) had no changes in luminal diameter compared with the immediate postoperative luminal diameter. Luminal narrowing increased, from 15 to 38%, in one case in which there was comparatively greater residual stenosis (15%). No patient suffered new ischemic symptoms during a mean clinical follow-up period of 21 months (range 12\u201336 months).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Elective stent surgery can provide good angiographic and clinical midterm outcomes in patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis, and the procedure is associated with a high degree of technical success.
