CAR 2. Results of Carotid Artery Stenting in a Belgian “Real-World” Practice
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a valuable solution for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in a population of patients at high risk for carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This high-risk population includes patients with recurrent stenosis after CEA, high/low lesion, contralateral laryngeal nerve palsy, previous radical neck surgery, cervical radiation therapy, and tracheostomy. In the European Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines, however, the authors were concerned about the death and stroke rates of CAS in “real-world” practice.
