Objective: To test whether Neuroform EZ stent placement combined with the modified techniques in symptomatic severe intracranial stenosis (ICAS) would result in lower rates of peri-procedural complications of intracranial stenting. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data from 71 consecutive patients who underwent Neuroform EZ stent placement combined with the modified techniques for symptomatic severe ICAS at our institute between January 2016 and October 2017. The primary outcomes were ipsi-lateral ischemic stroke, intra-cerebral hemorrhage, or death within 30 days after stenting. The secondary outcome was technical success. Results: The technical success rate was 100%. The mean pre and post-stent stenoses were 84.2% ± 9.1% (median 85%, IQR75% to 90%) and 16.9% ± 10.2 % (median 15%, IQR 10% to 25%). The frequency of ipsi-lateral stroke, intra-cerebral hemorrhage, or death within 30 days was 0%. Conclusions: The combined use of Neuroform EZ stent placement and the modified techniques for symptomatic severe ICAS is technically feasible and safe, with very low peri-procedural complications. Further studies are required to assess the long-term results of this approach.
