A systematic review and meta-analysis of carotid artery stenting for the treatment of cervical carotid artery dissection

CONCLUSION: Both primary stenting and stenting of spontaneous CAD yielded unfavorable results regarding stent thrombosis and stroke rates. Conversely, stenting following FMT displayed acceptable mortality and complication rates corroborating the use of stenting in the setting of CAD as a second line treatment. Due to the low quality of the included studies, definite conclusions cannot be drawn necessitating further research.PMID:35961627 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejvs.2022.07.048
