Review Meta Analysis
Self-expanding versus balloon expandable stent for intracranial arterial stenosis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
There are limited data regarding the comparison of balloon expandable stents (BES) and self-expanding stents (SES) for the treatment of intracranial arterial stenosis. ⋯ Compared with SES, BES were associated with lower rates of postprocedure 30-day stroke and/or death with lower rates of restenosis during follow up and the treatment of symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.
