Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis: Endovascular and Surgical Options
AUTOR(ES)
Klopfenstein, Jeffrey D.
RESUMO
Atherosclerotic middle cerebral artery stenosis is a rare but potentially devastating cause of cerebral ischemia and stroke. While medical management remains the mainstay for stroke prevention, surgical and/or endovascular intervention is indicated in selected patients. This article reviews the role of surgery and endovascular techniques in the treatment of middle cerebral artery stenosis based on its natural history, pathophysiology, and prognosis when treated medically.
