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…

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…

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…

Catheter-based vascular interventions continue to evolve as new devices continue to expand the capabilities of interventionalists and improve patient safety. The importance of athero-embolisation during vascular intervention has long been recognised.1 Embolic protection devices (EPDs) were developed to help prevent embolisation during endovascular procedures. The risk of distal embolisation is…

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…

Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is becoming a frequent therapeutic strategy for approaching severe carotid obstructive disease and is now widely accepted as a less invasive technique that provides an attractive alternative for many patients, particularly those with significant co-morbidities.1–6 From a technical standpoint, the continuous evolution of carotid stent design increases the…

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…

As the field of interventional cardiology has grown, so too has interest in mitigating severe adverse outcomes such as stroke. Unfortunately, the risk of stroke is increased by many underlying disease conditions (atrial fibrillation, patent foramen ovale, carotid artery disease and other vascular disease affecting brain perfusion, etc.), making clear differentiation between cardiac intervention…
