1) Efficacy of Micromesh-Covered Stents in Carotid Artery Stenting

Most literature, old and recent, associates carotid artery stenting with a higher rate of stroke (although minor) when compared with carotid endarterectomy during the acute period. However, 30-day outcomes of angioplasty and surgery are comparable.

2) Multivessel Disease and Severe Carotid Stenosis: How to Proceed

Myocardial revascularization surgery (CABG) is the most frequent of all cardiovascular surgeries and is still the gold standard to treat multivessel disease. Between 6 and 8% of these patients present concomitant carotid stenosis and it is associated with increased peri and post procedural stroke rates during and after surgery.

3) Endarterectomy vs. Stenting in Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis

The comparative efficacy and safety of carotid stenting vs. endarterectomy in asymptomatic carotid stenosis patients remains controversial and, what is worse, consensus seems unlikely in the near future. Given the lack of definite evidence, several meta-analyzis and systematic reviews have been produced in an attempt to shed some light on this matter.

4) New Strategies for the Femoropopliteal Artery

The incidence of peripheral vascular disease is clearly increasing, progressing towards critical ischemic claudication and amputation. Angioplasty is currently the treatment of choice for these pathologies.

5) A New Opportunity for Renal Denervation

At first, renal denervation enjoyed a considerable boost because, according to early studies, it lowered blood pressure (BP). However, after the results of the SYMPLICITY HTN 3 Trial its popularity decreased. Currently, the development of new technologies and greater operator experience may facilitate a change in this scenario.
