SAMMPRIS Criticisms
- 20 Cases Vetting
Only 3 Wingspan, no need for atherosclerosis experience
- General Anesthesia
- Cross lesion with
microcatheter and exchange for balloon
- Initially no post-dilation
allowed, protocol changed after
- SBP<150mmHg post-op
SBP<120 reduced risk of ICH with CAS
- No assessment of ASA/Plavix
response
- Average 7days to
randomization
½ patients w ICH Tx 17days after event- Low WASID risk
- No assessment of
cerebrovascular reserve
- No angiographic collateral
criteria
- Perforator strokes included
- Stenting vessels <2.5mm
- Lesion characteristics not
considered

Why Differentiating Hemodynamic
- vs. Perforator Ischemia Matters
- Volume of Territory at Risk
- Eloquence of Tissue at Risk
- Maximizing Benefit from
Revascularization
- Reducing Risk of Revascularization

Importance of Collaterals
WASID Angiographic Dataset N=287 (of 569)
- “Across all stenoses extent of collaterals was a predictor for
subsequent stroke in the symptomatic arterial territory”
None vs. good HR 1.14, CI 0.39-3.30
Poor vs. good HR 4.36; 95% CI, 1.46-13.07; p < 0.0001
- 70-99% stenoses, more extensive collaterals risk of territorial stroke
None vs. good HR 4.60; 95% CI, 1.03-20.56
Poor vs. good HR 5.90; 95% CI, 1.25-27.81, p = 0.0427
- 50-69%, presence of collaterals associated with likelihood of stroke
None vs. good HR 0.18; 95% CI, 0.04-0.82
Poor vs. good HR 1.78; 95% CI, 0.37-8.57; p < 0.0001
- Multivariate analyses: extent of collaterals independent predictor for
subsequent stroke
None vs. good HR 1.62; 95% CI, 0.52-5.11
Poor vs. good, 4.78; 95% CI, 1.55-14.7; p = 0.0019

Decreased Flow Reserve in Coronary Circulation
- Stenting of non-ischemic stenoses has no benefit
compared to Med Rx only
- Stenting of ischemia-related stenoses improves
Sx and outcome
- In multivessel CAD, identifying which stenoses
cause ischemia difficult:
Non-invasive tests often unreliable Coronary angiography often results in under- or
- verestimation of functional stenosis severity
Assessment of Cerebrovascular Reserve
- Acetazolamide SPECT
Useful in combination with an anatomical study Measures hemodynamic significance of stenosis Identify pts. who may benefit from
revascularization

therapeutic approach
- Primary stenting for vessels >2.5mm diameter
PTA for smaller vessels Bailout stenting
- No wire exchanges or crossing with microcatheter
Cross with wire in balloon

Summary
- Intracranial Atherosclerosis is Common
- With Med Tx Recurrence Rates are ~12-22%/yr
Aspirin+clopidogrel+atorva/rosuvastatin is “Best”
Medical Therapy
- No role for Warfarin
- PTA/Stenting safe and effective in selected symptomatic
patients
Most effective in patients with decreased
cerebrovascular reserve
- Treatment should not be delayed in non-disabled
patients
- Operator experience and appropriate technique are
critical for success
