REstoring Flow by REvascularization With Submaximal Angioplasty in Hemodynamic IntraCranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis
By assessing the safety and durability of an endovascular intervention, this study will justify and inform the design of a subsequent seamless feasibility/pivotal trial aimed at the treatment of intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (ICAS), an entity which carries a high risk of stroke despite existing medical therapies, and has no other treatment options. Given the global burden of ICAS as a leading cause of stroke, there is a high potential for public health impact not just in the U.S., but world-wide.
Non-severe recent stroke (within 30 days) attributed to 70-99% stenosis of intra... [+26]
