Background—Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is increasingly being used for
treatment of symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery disease (CAD). To evaluate the …

Background and Purpose—Against the background of a relatively low rate of clinical events
during carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) or carotid endarterectomy (CEA), diffusion …

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the cerebral embolic load of filter-
protected versus proximal balloon–protected carotid artery stenting (CAS). Background …

Background and Purpose—Periprocedural embolization of debris during carotid stenting
interventions may result in neurological deficit. This study was designed to evaluate in …

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disorders are the main cause of death and permanent
disability worldwide. Improved diagnostic and therapeutic options for these diseases have …

Purpose: To compare through a systematic review of published literature the stroke
outcomes in protected and unprotected carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: PubMed and …

OBJECTIVE: To establish the risk of carotid artery stent (CAS) complications in patients with
aortic arch anomalies. METHODS: In a prospective series of patients submitted to CAS, all …

BACKGROUND: The use of a distal filter cerebral protection device with carotid artery
stenting is commonplace. There is little evidence, however, that filters are effective in …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the incidence of cerebral ischemia in nonselected
patients undergoing neuroprotected carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) without …

Background: Our aim was to determine whether filter protection reduces embolisation to the
brain during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: Thirty patients with symptomatic carotid …
