Identifying risk factors for in-stent restenosis in symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The present study provides the current estimates of the robust effects of some risk factors for in-stent restenosis in intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis. The Enterprise stent had advantages compared with the Wingspan stent for ISR. The significant risk factors for ISR were coronary artery disease, dissection, and high residual stenosis. Local anesthesia was a suspected factor associated with ISR.
