UNASSIGNED: Introduction. @entity5576 ( @entity5576 ) may result in a chronic debilitating disease. Dural @entity50 with a physiologic venous pressure gradient has been identified as a potential etiology in a number of @entity5576 @entity1 . Intracranial venous stenting has emerged as a potential treatment alternative. Methods. A systematic review was carried out to identify studies employing venous stenting for @entity5576 . Results. From 2002 to 2014, 17 studies comprising 185 @entity1 who underwent 221 stenting procedures were reported. Mean prestent pressure gradient was 20.1   mmHg (95% CI 19.4-20.7   mmHg) with a mean poststent gradient of 4.4   mmHg (95% CI 3.5-5.2   mmHg). Complications occurred in 10 @entity1 (5.4%; 95% CI 4.7-5.4%) but were major in only 3 (1.6%). At a mean clinical follow-up of 22 months, clinical improvement was noted in 130 of 166 @entity1 with @entity10 (78.3%; 95% CI 75.8-80.8%), 84 of 89 @entity1 with @entity1829 (94.4%; 95% CI 92.1-96.6%), and 64 of 74 @entity1 with @entity227 (86.5%; 95% CI 83.0-89.9%). In-stent @entity850 was noted in six @entity1 (3.4%; 95% CI 2.5-4.3%) and stent-adjacent @entity850 occurred in 19 @entity1 (11.4%; 95% CI 10.4-12.4), resulting in restenting in 10 @entity1 . Conclusion. In @entity5576 @entity1 with @entity50 and a physiologic pressure gradient, venous stenting appears to be a safe and effective therapeutic option. Further studies are necessary to determine the long-term outcomes and the optimal management of medically refractory @entity5576 .
