Intracranial( inside the brain) atherosclerotic diseas/stenosis (ICAD) is considered a major cause of recurrent cerebrovascular events. ICAD continues to be a disease without an effective method of reducing the risk of recurrent stroke and death, even with aggressive, highly monitored medical treatment.

Stenosis means that the space inside the artery has narrowed, restricting blood flow

Intra cranial stenting is a minimally invasive treatment option for effectively managing intra cranial stenosis and preventing stroke. It is a non-surgical treatment in which catheters (thin hollow tubes) are used to place a stent (a metal mesh tube) in the affected artery to ensure the passage stays clear, thus restoring blood flow.
