Medical management beats stenting for stroke from narrowed brain arteries
Original: Medical management superior to stenting for stroke related to intracranial arterial stenosis [Classics Series]
A review in medicine journalism revisits the finding that aggressive medical management outperforms stenting for stroke caused by intracranial arterial stenosis, the narrowing of arteries inside the brain. The conclusion, drawn from major clinical trials, indicates drugs and lifestyle intervention reduce recurrent stroke risk more safely than inserting a stent. Clinicians continue to cite the result when weighing invasive procedures against intensive medication therapy.
Why now: The evidence carries no fact beyond the headline that medical management is superior to stenting for this type of stroke.
