Figure 1. — A 54-year-old male patient with high-grade stenosis at right middle cerebral artery (MCA) and left vertebral artery was referred after a recurrent stroke. He was symptomatic (had a stroke) because of the stenosis at the M1 segment of right MCA. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) demonstrated a severe stenosis at M1 segment of right MCA (a). Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed with Gateway (b) and an Enterprise stent was deployed. DSA after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) revealed minimal residual stenosis (<10%) (c). Selective left vertebral DSA of the same patient also demonstrated a severe stenosis at V4 segment of left vertebral artery (d). Because of the vertebrobasilar insufficiency symptoms of the patient, PTAS was performed (but this lesion was not included by the study). Final angiography after PTAS with Enterprise revealed minimal residual stenosis (e).
