E-107 Carotid artery stenting in patients with symptomatic non-stenotic carotid artery disease - a case series

ConclusionsIn this case series performed over a 10-year period at a high-volume stroke center we show that CAS is safe and efficient in patients with SyNC. Previous studies have established safety and effectiveness of CES in patients presenting with SyNC, however there is a paucity of reports in the literature regarding the effect of CAS in this patient population. Recent guidelines have brought specific attention to high-risk plaque characteristics which suggest that plaque instability plays a major role in the onset of ischemic events, regardless of lumen narrowing. Advanced imaging techniques, such as Optical Coherence Tomography, could help further characterize plaque vulnerability. Despite the small number of included patients, this case series could serve as preliminary data for further clinical studies necessary to determine the role of CAS in SyNC patients.Disclosures S.
