Carotid stenting with double layered stents: Double trouble or double benefit?
1Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Beaumont Health, Royal Oak, Michigan.
Abstract:
The use of double layer (covered) stents during carotid artery stenting (CAS) appears to be safe; attenuation of plaque prolapse and distal embolization is reasonable but unproven. Double layer stents are commercially available in Europe but not in the United States; similar benefits might be obtained by implanting two self-expanding stents, to decrease the effective free cell area. Embolic protection devices (EPDs) are recommended in all CAS patients; the use of double layer stents does not eliminate the need for EPDs.

Stratum Basale
Stratum basale, also known as the stratum germinativum, is the deepest layer of the epidermis. It is composed of a single layer of actively dividing cells called basal cells or basal keratinocytes. These cells constantly undergo cell division to replenish the upper layers of the epidermis. Additionally, melanocytes, which...
