However, the spectrum of treatable pathology, available devices, and clinical adoption of intracranial stents has exploded in recent years. Diagnostic neuroradiologists play a critical role in the evaluation of these devices after deployment, yet may not be familiar with state-of-the-art intracranial stent devices and indications. This review provides an overview of intracranial stents for cerebrovascular disease, with 3 chief learning objectives: 1) to understand the basic principles of stent design, biomechanics, and deployment, and the resulting influence on cerebrovascular hemodynamics; 2) to be familiar with the spectrum of intracranial pathology amenable to endovascular stent placement; and 3) to recognize the radiographic appearance of successful intracranial stent deployment and intracranial stentrelated complications.Learning Objective: Recognize the key principles of design (form), current indications (function), and potential complications of intracranial stents used in neurointerventional surgery", }
