title: Wingspan stenting of symptomatic middle cerebral artery stenosis and perioperative evaluation using high-resolution 3 Tesla MRI.
abstract: High-resolution MRI (HR MRI) was employed to study intracranial arterial walls in a patient who underwent angioplasty and stenting for middle cerebral artery (MCA) stenosis using the Wingspan stent (Boston Scientific, Natick, MA, USA). HR MRI clearly depicted the wall structure of the MCA. As a complementary method, HR MRI may improve intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis diagnosis and therapy.
