Event Description

This article retrospectively evaluate the safety and efficacy of the wingspan device for the treatment of symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (icas).A total of 50 patients (mean age 64.8 ±11.5 years, 39 women and 11 men) fulfilling the inclusion criteria received wingspan stenting in order to treat arterial stenosis between january 2013 and december 2015 were included in the study group.All patients underwent mri to audit any complications during the early follow-up period.Mean stenosis pre-stenting was 76.5 ±13.1% and post-stenting residual stenosis was 19.8 ±13.8%.The overall 30-day rate of procedure-related complications was 6.0% (3/50).Over a median or mean follow-up period which ranged from 1 to 15 months, there was in-stent restenosis defined as superior to 20% of absolute luninal loss was found in one of these three patients having recurrent tia or stroke.

A review of the device history record could not be performed because the lot number was not reported.The subject device is not available; therefore, functional testing as well as physical analysis cannot be performed.However, patient stroke, patient tia (transient ischemic attack), and patient restenosis are known risks associated with endovascular procedures and are noted as such in the device directions for use (dfu).Therefore, an assignable cause of anticipated procedural complications has been assigned to this event.
