Predictors of Carotid Occlusion Intolerance during Proximal Protected Carotid Artery Stenting

Original title: Predictors of Carotid Occlusion Intolerance During Proximal Protected Carotid Artery Stenting. Reference: Giuseppe Giugliano et al. J Am Coll Cardiol Intv 2014, Epub ahead of print. Proximal endovascular occlusion devices (PEO) have been proved particularly effective and safe for proximal protected carotid stenting procedures. However, endovascular occlusion can expose the ipsilateral hemisphere to hypoperfusion and produce...

Proximal protection devices could be the first choice for most carotid artery stenting procedures

Original title: Evaluation of proximal protection devices during carotid artery stenting as the first choice for embolic protection. Reference: Hornung M et al. EuroIntervention. 2014; Epub ahead of print. This series of the Frankfurt CardioVascular Center included 124 consecutive patients undergoing carotid angioplasty with proximal protection. The first 92 patients received the Gore Flow Reversal System (WL Gore;...

Advances in Proximal Occlusion Devices for Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting

Original title: A Meta-Analysis of Proximal Oclusion Device Outcome in Carotid Artery Stenting Reference: Robert M Bersin, et al. Catheterization and Cardiovascular Intervention 80:1072-78 (2012) Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting (CAS) is considered a valid alternative to treat high risk patients. Embolic protection devices have been proved effective and currently there are two EPDs available: proximal occlusion and distal...

Carotid Endarterectomy vs. Carotid Angioplasty in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Patients: 30-Day Outcomes

Extracranial carotid artery disease represents 15 to 20% of all strokes. Carotid revascularization plays a role in primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular events. Outcomes of two common revascularization strategies, Carotid endarterectomy (CAE) and carotid artery stenting (CAS), have been studied and compared. In recent years, complications associated to CAS have dropped thanks to technical...
