Carotid artery stenting without embolic protection: A randomized multicenter trial (the CASWEP trial)

CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that CAS without CPD is not associated with higher rates of peri-procedural TIA, stroke, and death or new ischemic brain lesions on post-procedural DW-MRI compared to CAS with CPD in selected symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with significant carotid artery stenosis provided that there is no visible thrombus.PMID:35469509 | DOI:10.1177/15910199221094388
