頸靜脈上安裝支架的風險

從去年2009年至今，從網路上我所得知有關在頸靜脈上安裝支架的MS病患不在少數，

Marian Simka, PhD, from the Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at EUROMEDIC Specialist Clinics in Katowice, Poland, also presented interventional data on a total of 587 endovascular procedures — 414 balloon angioplasties and 173 stent placements — in 347 MS patients, looking specifically at safety.
波蘭Marian Simka醫師已經為347名MS病患進行了一共587次的靜脈擴張手術，
其中414次為氣球擴張，173次的支架擴張。

但截至目前為止，也出現了幾個不幸的例子：

Stanford University School of Medicine in Stanford, California.加州（1個例子）： 支架滑落至心臟 stents can migrate, pushed down from the neck toward the heart.

Bulgarian medical clinic 保加利亞（3個例子） ：在支架附近形成血栓 a blood clot had formed around the stent. stents have blocked with blood clots

Clinica Biblica in Costa Rica，San Jose 聖荷西, 加州（1個例子）：have a mesh stent inserted to prop open a vein in his neck and a blood clot formed around the stent in the vein

MS人注意，要作靜脈擴張術之前，請三思，建議目前最好不要使用支架擴張。國外有4位例子顯示相對的風險，血栓發生的可能而惡化以及支架安裝不穩所造成的風險。

目前使用氣球擴張風險相對支架擴張而言較低。
