The purposes of this study were to determine the optimal time for initial follow-up angiography, the restenosis rate after successful intracranial percutaneous transluminal cerebral angioplasty (PTCBA), and finally to identify lesion-specific characteristics for predicting successful angioplasty. Thirty-five patients underwent PTCBA with follow-up angiography 3 and 12 months later. Although 27 lesions were adequately dilated, permanent complications occurred in 3 patients. The restenosis rate at 3 months was 29.6 %; patients without restenosis at 3 months remained free from vessel narrowing at 12 months. Restenosis occurred on severe, eccentric lesions, total occlusions or extremely angulated lesions. There was a strong correlation between sufficient dilatation and lower restenosis rate, and concentric and short lesions (type A). We conclude that the optimal time for initial angiographic follow-up is 3 months after PTCBA. PTCBA is most suitable for type A lesions with higher success, lower morbidity and lower restenosis rates.

神经放射学旨在提供神经放射学、神经科学、神经病学、精神病学、神经外科和相关医学专业领域最先进的医学和科学信息。 NEURORADIOLOGY 作为欧洲神经放射学会的官方期刊，接收来自世界各地的投稿，并发表同行评议的原创研究、综合评论、教育论文、意见论文以及关于该领域特殊临床观察和新技术发展的简短报告神经影像学和神经干预。该杂志设有诊断和介入神经放射学、高级神经影像学、儿科神经放射学、头颈耳鼻喉放射学、脊柱神经放射学和来自日本的投稿小节。神经放射学旨在提供有关人类神经系统功能和病理学的新知识和见解，这可能有助于更好地诊断和治疗神经系统疾病。 NEURORADIOLOGY 是出版伦理委员会 (COPE) 的成员，并遵循 COPE 的核心实践。神经放射学更喜欢没有偏见、对局限性进行自我批评、在描述研究参与者、方法和统计数据时透明和清晰，以及在呈现结果方面简短的文章。在同行评审之前，ITHENTICATE 会自动检查所有提交的内容，以评估之前发布中的潜在重叠。

Neuroradiology aims to provide the latest medical and scientific information in the fields of neuroradiology, neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, neurosurgery, and related medical specialties. As the official journal of the European Society of Neuroradiology, Neuroradiology accepts submissions from around the world and publishes peer-reviewed original research, comprehensive reviews, educational papers, opinion pieces, and brief reports on special clinical observations and new technological developments in the field. The journal features sections on diagnostic and interventional neuroradiology, advanced neuroimaging, pediatric neuroradiology, head and neck ENT radiology, spinal neuroradiology, and a section for submissions from Japan. Neuroradiology aims to provide new knowledge and insights regarding the function and pathology of the human nervous system, which may assist in better diagnosing and treating neurological diseases. The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and adheres to COPE's core practices. Neuroradiology prefers articles that are unbiased, self-critical of limitations, transparent and clear in describing study participants, methods, and statistics, and concise in presenting results. Before peer review, all submissions are automatically checked by ITHENTICATE to assess potential overlap with previously published content.
