Abstract:
This article defines disruptive technology and discusses such technologies in Vascular Surgery. It considers the question: Is carotid artery stenting (CAS) a disruptive technology? Although CAS will impact positively on the treatment of carotid bifurcation disease, it will probably never displace carotid endarterectomy in the majority of patients. The precise role of CAS remains to be determined.
