Carotid Stenting: Is There an Operator Effect? A Pooled Analysis From the Carotid Stenting Trialists' Collaboration Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Carotid stenting should only be performed by operators with annual procedure volume ≥6 cases per year.

Predictors of Acute and Persisting Ischemic Brain Lesions in Patients Randomized to Carotid Stenting or Endarterectomy Brief Reports
Conclusions— Stenting caused more acute and persisting ischemic brain lesions than endarterectomy. However, the rate of conversion from acute to persisting lesions was lower in the stenting group, most likely attributable to lower acute lesion volumes.

Characteristics of Ischemic Brain Lesions After Stenting or Endarterectomy for Symptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis: Results From the International Carotid Stenting Study-Magnetic Resonance Imaging Substudy Original Contributions
Conclusions— Compared with patients undergoing CEA, patients treated with CAS had higher numbers of periprocedural ischemic brain lesions, and lesions were smaller and more likely to occur in cortical areas and subjacent white matter. These findings may reflect differences in underlying mechanisms of cerebral ischemia. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.isrctn.org. Unique identifier: ISRCTN25337470.
