Carotid artery stenting

Heart, 2016
### Learning objectives After reading this article the reader should: In western countries, stroke is the fourth leading cause of death, after heart disease, cancer and chronic respiratory diseases.1 Carotid artery disease may be responsible for 10–15% of all ischaemic strokes.2 Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have established the benefit of ...

[Carotid artery stenting].

Masui. The Japanese journal of anesthesiology, 2013
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is used as a less invasive substitute for carotid endarterectomy (CEA) and is the treatment of choice for patients with severe carotid artery stenosis in whom CEA might accompany a high risk of complications. Although evidence showing that CAS is more effective than CEA is scarce, CAS has been widely used in Japan in the ...

Carotid Artery Stenting Update

Future Cardiology, 2013
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the most common cause of long-term disability in the USA. Approximately 25% of strokes are due to carotid artery disease. The mechanisms of stroke include thrombotic occlusion, thrombus embolism, atheroembolism and dissection or subintimal hematoma.

Carotid Artery Stenting: Update

International Journal of Cardiovascular Interventions, 2005
"Extracranial carotid artery stenosis is responsible for approximately 20-30% of ischemic strokes. Traditionally, carotid artery stenosis has been treated with carotid endarterectomy. However, the low periprocedural complication rate and the mid term durability of carotid artery stenting has made it a competitive alternative treatment strategy.

Carotid Artery Stenting After Carotid Endarterectomy

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2011
Atherosclerotic carotid artery disease remains an important cause of cerebrovascular ischemic disease. We present a patient with residual stenosis of the distal internal carotid artery following carotid endarterectomy that was treated with stenting. The case highlights the potential complimentary benefits of carotid endarterectomy and carotid stenting.
