Technique and clinical evidence of neuroprotection in carotid artery stenting.
Abstract Carotid artery stenting has been advocated as an effective alternative to carotid endarterectomy. Periprocedural embolization of debris during endovascular treatment of carotid artery disease may result in neurological deficit. Different strategies are being developed and evaluated for their ability to minimize the clinical embolic risk. Distal filter devices, proximal and distal balloon occlusion systems are increasingly used in carotid artery stenting, because they seem to be safe and effective in preventing distal embolization, according to several uncontrolled studies. However the use of embolic prote...

Results of carotid angioplasty and stenting are equivalent for critical versus high-grade lesions in patients deemed high risk for carotid endarterectomy
Conclusions: Despite concerns regarding the potential for increased neurologic complications, our data demonstrate that patients with high-grade and critical stenosis are able to safely undergo CAS and achieve similar periprocedural outcomes and mid-term prognosis.

Periprocedural risk and long-term outcome of intracranial angioplasty based on a single-centre experience.
Conclusions: Our outcomes of the balloon angioplasty/stent placement for intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis are better than those in the SAMMPRIS study and compare favourably with those in large registries and observational studies. PMID: 23823858 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
