ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the perioperative complications of stenting with symptomatic intracra-nial artery stenosis and study the mechanism and prevention of complications. Methods 63 patients were collect-ed from Stroke Center of Guangxi. They were proved intracranial artery stenosis and performed intracranial stents. Patients′ age,with hypertension,diabetes and hyperlipidemia or not,smoking or not,types and occurrence time of complications were registered. Results 63 patients were registered and 2 patients terminated operation due to blood vessels circuity or serious vessel spasm. Operation success rate reached 96.83％. 5 patients had complications among 63 cases,with complication incidence of 8.20％. 3 patients experienced cerebral hemorrhage and two cere-bral infarction in peri-operation period. 2 patients died of complications and mortality rate was 3.28％. Conclu-sions The incidence rate of complications of intracranial stenting with symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis is relatively high and it can be reduced by preoperative sufficient assessment and prudent selection ,careful operation and strict management after operation.
