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…

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…

Strokes are frequently devastating events with potentially fatal complications and significant disability, resulting in a major impact on the affected individual’s quality of life. It is well accepted that the presence of carotid stenosis is responsible for 20–30% of strokes.1 Great effort has therefore been invested in the search for treatments to reduce the stroke risk attributed to it…

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…

With an ageing population, the burden of peripheral artery diseases (PADs) is increasing. The treatment of these diseases has largely been performed by interventional radiologists, vascular surgeons and interventional cardiologists. In 2011, the percentage of procedures performed per specialty were 12.9 %, 45.0 % and 42.2 % for interventional radiology, vascular surgery and interventional…
