Key result
The ICAROS registry is designed to determine criteria for identifying patients at risk of periprocedural stroke and restenosis at 1 year following carotid artery stenting.
Why the study?
Does echographic plaque imaging (gray-scale median) predict the risk of periprocedural stroke and restenosis in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting?
Observational
Yes
Does echographic plaque imaging (gray-scale median) predict the risk of periprocedural stroke and restenosis in patients undergoing carotid artery stenting?
The ICAROS registry aims to determine if echographic plaque imaging can improve patient selection and reduce cerebral embolization risk during carotid stenting.
May guide carotid stenting risk stratification via plaque imaging; leaves open whether gray-scale median predicts stroke or restenosis.
ICAROS (Imaging in Carotid Angioplasties and Risk Of Stroke) is a multicenter international registry of carotid artery stenting designed to determine the criteria for identifying patients at higher or lower risk of periprocedural stroke and restenosis at 1 year. The aim of the registry is to improve patient selection and consequently reduce the risk of cerebral embolization during carotid stenting. The registry is open to all interventionists performing carotid stenting, and the participants are free to apply their own endovascular techniques and devices, including cerebral protection mechanisms. All cerebral ischemic events following the procedure will be reported. Follow-up surveillance to 1 year will include periodic duplex scanning and neurological examinations. Echographic plaque images will be standardized for comparison, processed for echodensity, and analyzed by computer at the Registry Center. Correlation will be investigated between the echographic index (gray-scale median) and the risk of embolism and outcome of carotid stenting.

Biasi et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting was evaluated on Periprocedural stroke and restenosis at 1 year. The ICAROS registry is designed to determine criteria for identifying patients at risk of periprocedural stroke and restenosis at 1 year following carotid artery stenting.
