+Detailed description

Vertebral Artery Origin Stenting is an established alternative to open surgical bypass for the treatment of Vertebral Artery Ostium Stenosis .

DEBs are designed to promote arterial patency by reducing neointimal proliferation.

+Arms and interventions

ArmTypeInterventionsDescription
DCB groupExperimentalProcedure: drug-coated balloon catheter(Orchid, Acotec)use DEB catheter(trade name:Orchid/Dhalia) to treat the stenosis or occlusion in Vertebral Artery Ostium Stenosis of experimental arm
BMS groupActive comparatorProcedure: Intracranial artery stent system(APOLLO)use Intracranial artery stent system(trade name:Apollo) to treat stenosis or occlusion in Vertebral Artery Ostium Stenosis of control group
  • drug-coated balloon catheter(Orchid, Acotec) (Procedure): After predilation, using drug-coated balloon catheter to cover the whole treated segment
  • Intracranial artery stent system(APOLLO) (Procedure): stent assisted angioplasty

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Rate of target lesion restenosis [12Months]: Target Lesion Restenosis(diameter stenosis ≥50%) under DSA at 12 Months or diamater stenosis ≥50% under DSA before Target Lesion Revascularization within 12 Months
  • Rate of device success [during the operation]: DEB group: DEB catheter can reach the target lesions, expand as expected (not broken),and withdraw successfully. BES group: the stenosis rate of proximal outflow less than 50% with intervention and no ischemia or hemorrhage occurred.

Secondary outcomes

  • Rate of device success [during the operation]: DEB group: DEB catheter can reach the target lesions, expand as expected (not broken),and withdraw successfully. BES group: the stenosis rate of proximal outflow less than 50% with intervention and no ischemia or hemorrhage occurred.
  • Incidence of hemorrhagic stroke and posterior circulation ischemic stroke [12 Months]: incidence of hemorrhagic stroke and posterior circulation ischemic stroke within 12 months
  • Incidence of transient ischemic attack of posterior circulation [12 Months]: incidence of transient ischemic attack of posterior circulation within 12 months
