Key result
CAS risk assessment using individual prediction models offers a practical approach to managing carotid stenosis.
Why the study?
Carotid artery stenting has procedural risks that require careful patient selection and risk assessment to optimize outcomes.
This review provides a practical approach to risk assessment and patient selection for carotid artery stenting in patients with carotid stenosis.
May guide individualized carotid stenting decisions; extends risk-prediction literature but leaves open prospective validation.
Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective and increasingly utilized therapy for carotid stenosis. Despite its safety, CAS does have procedural risks, which necessitates meticulous technique and careful patient selection for this procedure. A number of patient and anatomical characteristics have been shown to increase CAS risk, and recently, prediction models have been constructed to gauge individual patient risk objectively and comprehensively. This review discusses CAS risk assessment and offers a practical approach to the management of patients with carotid stenosis for which CAS is a viable treatment option.

Hawkins et al. (2014) conducted a review in Carotid stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) risk assessment was evaluated. This review discusses carotid artery stenting risk assessment and offers a practical approach to managing patients with carotid stenosis using prediction models for individual patient risk.
