To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of emergency carotid artery stenting (CAS) in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to carotid artery issues.
Retrospective evaluation of 230 patients who underwent CAS.
Included 35 patients with high NIHSS scores and clinical deterioration.
Analyzed procedural complications, success rates, and clinical outcomes using modified Rankin Scale.
57.2% of patients were male, with a mean age of 67.5 years.
91.4% had favorable clinical outcomes at 3 months (mRS ≤ 2).
Mortality was low, occurring in one patient (2.8%) due to myocardial infarction.
