Overview

Retrospective study compares pEGASUS-HPC and CREDO heal stents for treating intracranial artery stenosis, indicating both demonstrate safety and efficacy.

Key Points

  • Both pEGASUS-HPC and CREDO heal stents showed significant improvement in arterial diameter post-intervention.
  • Revascularization success rates were high, with 93.9% in the pEGASUS-HPC group compared to 94.3% in the CREDO heal group.
  • In-stent re-stenosis occurred more frequently in the pEGASUS-HPC group at 14.7% compared to 5.7% in the CREDO heal group.
  • Functional outcomes at 3-6 months were similar, with mRS scores of 0-2 achieved by 73.5% in pEGASUS-HPC and 80.0% in CREDO heal.
