Carotid artery stenting in the elderly. Are there differences between open and closed cell stents?

CONCLUSION: Our data show CAS as a safe procedure also for people older than 75 years in terms of perioperative and long term complications and cerebral events without any significant difference between the different type of stent. Further studies are requested to better clarify its role in symptomatic patients. KEY WORDS: Carotid stenting, Carotid treatment, Old people. PMID: 31182697 [PubMed - in process]
