Stroke is the third leading cause of death and permanent disability in the US and Europe. It is estimated that there are over 700,000 new cases of stroke each year in the US, of which 20–30% are thought to be secondary to carotid thromboembolic disease.1 In the last few years, carotid artery stenting (CAS) has significantly expanded as an alternative treatment to the conventional surgical carotid…

Since the publication of the Endarterectomy versus Angioplasty in Patients with Symptomatic Severe Carotid Stenosis (EVA-3S) and Stent-supported Percutaneous Angioplasty of the Carotid Artery versus Endarterectomy (SPACE) studies, doubts have been raised regarding the safety of carotid artery stenting (CAS) as an alternative carotid intervention to carotid endarterectomy (CEA). A recent meta…

Stroke-related morbidity and mortality remain unacceptably high. Recent estimates suggest that it accounts for approximately one out of every 17 deaths in the US, and that a person dies from the direct consequences of stroke every three to four minutes.1 Of the almost 800,000 strokes that occur annually, 87% are ischaemic, the remainder occurring predominantly as a consequence of intracerebral…

Insights from Carotid Artery Stenting Registries
Registries tend to have less stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria than randomised trials and provide real-world data on a broad variety of patients treated by a range of interventionists of varying experience. Registries serve to provide first-time evaluation of new devices, help set up learning curve pearls, can be hypothesis-generating and…

Carotid stenting has been introduced for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis as a potentially less invasive therapy than carotid endarterectomy, because carotid stenting does not require general anaesthesia and does not lead to local surgical complications. Despite major technical progress in decreasing the risk of embolisation, this risk continues to be a hurdle in the acceptance of carotid…

The use of cerebral protection during carotid stenting is being less and less contested. The protection systems currently available present a certain number of inconveniences.
The new system that the authors propose is an evolution of the cerebral protection concept by temporary occlusion of the distal internal carotid.1-3 Experience with several hundred endovascular treatments of the carotid…

Abstract
Both carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and carotid artery stenting (CAS) are associated with small, but clinically important and discrepant, rates of procedural complications, including cerebral and myocardial ischaemic events, cranial nerve injury and access site haematoma. Embolic protection devices (EPDs) may lower the rate of ipsilateral ischaemic events during CAS and are considered by…
