\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

1. Patient Preparation<\/h3>

In order to lower the risk of thromboembolism, patients are given antiplatelet treatment prior to the surgery, typically aspirin and clopidogrel. Clinical considerations determine whether to deliver conscious sedation or general anesthesia.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

2. Access to Vascular<\/h3>

The femoral artery is typically used to obtain a percutaneous arterial access. The intracranial vascular with stenosis or disease is reached by passing a guiding catheter through the arterial system.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

3. Angiography at Baseline<\/h3>

Contrast angiography is used to evaluate vessel diameter, properly visualize the stenotic lesion, and plan the operation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

4. Anticoagulant medication<\/h3>

During the surgery, intravenous heparin is used as a systemic anticoagulant to avoid clot formation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

5. Navigation of Microwires and Microcatheters<\/h3>

The distal vascular branch is reached by carefully advancing a soft, atraumatic microwire through the stenotic segment. The lesion site is then reached by advancing a balloon angioplasty catheter or stent delivery device across the wire.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

6. Balloon Angioplasty<\/h3>

The narrowed vessel segment is dilated by carefully inflating a balloon across the stenosis. In order to prevent vascular rupture, inflation pressure is monitored.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

7. Deployment of Stents<\/h3>

In order to scaffold the vascular wall, restore lumen diameter, and stop recoil, a self-expanding or balloon-mounted stent is placed over the lesion.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

8. Ballooning after a stent, if necessary<\/h3>

To guarantee ideal stent expansion and vascular patency, further balloon angioplasty may be performed.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

9. Last Angiography<\/h3>

Stent placement, vascular patency, and the lack of problems like dissection or thrombosis are all confirmed by repeat angiography.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

10. Hemostasis and Device Removal<\/h3>

Access site hemostasis is achieved by removing catheters and wires, frequently using manual compression or closure devices.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

11. Monitoring Following Procedures<\/h3>

For 24 to 48 hours, patients in an intensive care unit are observed for neurological abnormalities and consequences.<\/p><\/div><\/div>

12. Extended Care<\/h3>

To avoid in-stent thrombosis, dual antiplatelet medication is maintained for several months. Vessel patency and restenosis are evaluated by follow-up imaging.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
