The management of extracranial cerebrovascular disease, including carotid endarterectomy
(CEA), carotid stenting and medical management is performed by several specialists …

Background Recent evidence from the Safety and Efficacy Study for Reverse Flow Used
During Carotid Artery Stenting Procedure (ROADSTER) multicenter trial in high-risk patients …

Objective In this review, we evaluate the short-term impact of different ballooning
combinations on hemodynamic instability neurologic events, and mortality associated with …

Objective The impact of carotid artery lesion calcification on adverse events following carotid
artery stenting is not well-studied. Few reports associated heavily calcified lesions with high …

Objective Recent studies have suggested that the low risk of stroke and death associated
with transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) is partially attributable to a robust dynamic …

Background Whereas carotid endarterectomy (CEA) remains the “gold standard” treatment,
given its low complication rate, carotid artery stenting (CAS) has emerged as a valid …

Background Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) has been shown to have half the
rates of transient ischemic attack (TIA), stroke, and death compared with transfemoral carotid …

Background Proper selection of patients for carotid artery stenting (CAS) remains
controversial despite multiple controlled trials. This relates in part to differences in …

Objective Hypotension is a frequent complication of carotid artery stenting (CAS). Although
common, its occurrence is unpredictable, and association with adverse events has not been …

Background: To address the predictors of hemodynamic instability (HI) related to carotid
artery stenting (CAS) and evaluate the association between HI and periprocedural adverse …
