We appreciate the interest of Drs Ueda and Yuh in our article *Intracranial Angioplasty: Experience and Complication.* We agree that submaximal percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) of intracranial arteries with balloons inflated slowly and at low pressure is probably a safer technique, because it is less traumatic to the intima and media of treated arteries. Nevertheless, only careful long-term follow-up in a larger series of patients can determine the efficacy and restenosis rate with this approach.
