This review discusses emerging data on the late outcomes of carotid artery stenting, focusing on recurrent stenosis and late stroke prevention compared to carotid endarterectomy.
This review highlights the importance of evaluating late outcomes, such as recurrent stenosis and long-term stroke prevention, following carotid artery stenting.
The role of carotid artery stenting (CAS) as an alternative to carotid endarterectomy for the treatment of extracranial carotid occlusive disease for stroke prevention continues to evolve. Although technical and device refinements aimed at making CAS safer continue to this day, safety as measured by 30-day and 1-year outcomes has been the primary recipient of regulatory and practice attention. Relatively less emphasis has been placed on the incidence of recurrent stenosis after CAS and the efficacy of CAS in late stroke prevention. Data on late outcomes of CAS, including factors of potential influence, have been emerging and are addressed in this review.

Ross et al. (2011) conducted a review in Extracranial carotid occlusive disease. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) vs. Carotid endarterectomy was evaluated on Late outcomes including recurrent stenosis and late stroke prevention. This review discusses emerging data on the late outcomes of carotid artery stenting, focusing on recurrent stenosis and late stroke prevention compared to carotid endarterectomy.
