Carotid artery stenting (CAS) offers an effective alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) for treating carotid stenosis. This minimally invasive procedure demonstrates favorable complication rates with proper patient selection and technique.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a common surgical procedure.
  • Carotid artery stenosis poses a significant risk for stroke.
  • Minimally invasive alternatives to CEA are sought to improve patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate carotid artery stenting (CAS) as a less invasive alternative to CEA.
  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of CAS for treating carotid stenosis.
  • To compare complication rates of CAS with CEA.

Main Methods:

  • 390 patients underwent CAS, treating 451 vessels.
  • A coaxial system was used for predilation, stent placement, and dilation.
  • Pretreatment with antiplatelet therapy and same-day admission with 23-hour discharge were standard practices.

Main Results:

  • Technical success rate was 98%.
  • 30-day mortality/morbidity included 1.7% death and 0.9% major stroke.
  • Minor stroke incidence decreased annually, reaching 4% in 1997-1998, with no major strokes or neurologic deaths in that period.

Conclusions:

  • Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective treatment for carotid stenosis.
  • CAS demonstrates favorable complication rates when compared to CEA.
  • Proper patient selection and meticulous technique are crucial for successful CAS outcomes.
