sICH – symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, asICH – asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, NIHSS – National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale Score, mRS – modified Rankin scale, DUS – Duplex ultrasound, PSV – peak-systolic velocity, EDV – end-diastolic velocity.
In patients alive at 90 days, unless specified otherwise,
in patent stents,
8 deaths as stroke consequence; one cardiac death,
in alive patients and those showing stent occlusion on DUS prior to death (n = 70 eligible),
including last available DUS in patients who died,
in patients alive at 90 days, unless occlusion diagnosed prior to death between discharge and 90 days; (n = 64 eligible at 90 days).
