Abstract
- Introduction: Current methods for angioplasty and stenting of the intracranial vasculature for neurointervention are limited. The Wingspan Stent System is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved with human device exemption for a limited patient group and despite numerous prospective registries and trials demonstrating reasonable safety, still carries warnings from the FDA for its use. Given these limitations, we present the technical nuances and outcomes of the off-label use of the Resolute Onyx drug-eluting stent (DES) for neurointerventional purposes. Methods: Retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing a neurointerventional procedure with the Resolute Onyx DES was done from January 2017–2021. The Resolute Onyx is a coronary balloon-mounted drug-eluting (zotarolimus) single wire laser cut stent. Technical details and procedural outcomes were collected. Results: In total 40 patients had attempted placement of the Resolute Onyx DES with procedural success in 95% of patients. The most common vessel stented was the basilar artery, 30% (12/40). The most common indication was intracranial atherosclerotic disease in 62.5% (25/40) patients, followed by acute stroke in 17.5% (7/40) of patients. The technical and procedural outcomes were excellent with only one technical complication (2.5%). Conclusions: This series describes the initial technical safety and utility of utilizing a new generation balloon-mounted drug-eluting stent for neurointerventional purposes. This stent offers the potential for improved navigability, delivery, and outcomes compared to current neurointerventional options and warrants further study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
