The risk of stenting for cerebral infarction is related to the patient’s general condition and vascular status, and the risk of the procedure varies from patient to patient.
The older the patient, the more risk factors for cerebrovascular disease (e.g. smoking, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, etc.), the higher the risk of vascular intervention. The patient’s cardiopulmonary, hepatic and renal functions also have an important influence on the degree of tolerance of the procedure, and those with poorer cardiopulmonary and hepatic functions will also have an increased risk of the procedure.
Vascular status such as tortuosity, sclerosis, and stenosis are the most important factors affecting the risk of the procedure. The more tortuous, sclerotic, and stenotic the vessel, the greater the risk of stenting and the greater the risk of hemorrhagic transformation and vascular injury.
The risk of stenting after a cerebral infarction is influenced by a number of factors, and the risk varies from patient to patient, as does the outcome of the disease.
