Brief Summary:
Stroke is one of the important causes of disability and death in the world, in which more than half were ischemic strokes. About 1/4 of the ischemic stroke occurred in the vertebral basilar artery system, especially when in the presence of extracranial proximal vertebral artery stenosis. Vertebral artery stenting is a minimally invasive method for the reconstruction of vertebral artery stenosis and the early clinical studies showed that it was feasible, safe and effective, but the high rate of restenosis has become a bottleneck restricting its development. Previous systematic review had suggested that the drug eluting stent might reduce the incidence of restenosis of vertebral artery. However, prospective randomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy of bare metal stents and drug eluting stents on the prevention of restenosis remains absent.
Detailed Description:
60 patients were randomly assigned into DES and BES group to compare the safety and efficacy in the treatment of symptomatic extracranial vertebral artery stenosis with drug eluting stents (YINYI) and bare metal stents (Express SD), especially the stent restenosis rate after 6 months.
