Implication

Supports carotid stenting feasibility with high patency; leaves open whether cerebral protection reduces ischemic complications in broader use.

Population

290 patients with carotid artery stenosis, age 40 to 93 years, 42% symptomatic and 58% asymptomatic, with a mean stenosis of 82.3%.

Intervention

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (315 procedures total; 165 without cerebral protection and 150 with cerebral protection).

Outcome

Periprocedural neurologic complications, restenosis at 6 months, and 4-year patency rates.hard clinical

Carotid angioplasty and stenting demonstrate acceptable mortality and morbidity with high long-term patency, though the substantial risk of embolic stroke highlights the potential need for cerebral protection.
