The long-term ISR and stent fracture risks were high in extracranial VA stenosis treated with balloon-expandable bare metal stents. The risk of stent fracture increased over time during the follow-up period. Further studies should be conducted to clarify the long-term safety and efficacy of extracranial VA stenting.
