Wiebke Kurre & Friedhelm Brassel & Roland Brüning & Jan Buhk & Bernd Eckert & Susanna Horner & Michael Knauth & Thomas Liebig & Jana Maskova & Dirk Mucha & Vojtech Sychra & Matthias Sitzer & Michael Sonnberger & Marc Tietke & Johannes Trenkler & Bernd Turowski & Joachim Berkefeld & INTRASTENT study group3.7%, and 0.8% for TIA/nondisabling stroke, disabling stroke, and death in the BES group compared with 5.3%, 6.0%, and 4.0% in the SES group. The differences were not statistically significant. We observed more perforator strokes after use of BES, but thromboembolic events occurred more often in the SES treatment group. Conclusion Data of the INTRASTENT registry do not support the hypothesis that introduction of SES lowered the overall complication rate of intracranial stent procedures. There might be an advantage using self-expanding stents in vessel segments with important perforating arteries.
