Treatments and predictors of unfavorable outcomes were retrospectively analyzed.Results Mainly, three methods were used to treat patients with uis-VADAs, including routine single-stent in 208 patients (such as Enterprise and others), new low-profile LVIS single stent in 107 patients, and multiple stents in 293 patients. During the median 66 months of clinical follow-up, 14 patients died, and 16 of the remaining 594 survivors had unfavorable outcomes (modified Rankin Scale score 3–5). The overall mortality rate was 2.3% (14/608), and the unfavorable outcome (mRS score 3–6) rate was 4.9% (30/608). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that preprocedural ischemic infarctions (OR=3.78; 95% CI 1.52 to 9.40; p<0.01), diabetes mellitus (OR=3.74; 95% CI 1.31 to 10.68; p=0.01), and procedural complications (OR=14.18; 95% CI 5.47 to 36.80; p<0.01) were predictors of unfavorable outcome in the reconstructed VADAs.Conclusions This multicenter study indicated that preprocedural ischemic infarctions, diabetes mellitus, and procedural complications were related to unfavorable clinical outcomes in the reconstructed uis-VADAs.Data are available upon reasonable request.
