Review demonstrates safety and efficacy of angioplasty in cerebrovascular disease, suggesting promising outcomes for intracranial and extracranial arterial stenosis.

Key Points

To review the evolving role, clinical indications, and outcomes of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in the management of cerebrovascular disease.
Narrative review examining clinical applications and preliminary outcomes of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the cerebrovascular circulation.
Evaluation of procedural indications across extracranial and intracranial arterial stenosis caused by atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia.
Early clinical results indicate that percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is safe and efficacious for treating extracranial arterial stenosis resulting from atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia.
Preliminary evidence demonstrates promising therapeutic outcomes when applying angioplasty to symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis caused by atherosclerotic disease.
