abstract

background: carotid artery stenting is now used as an alternative to surgical endarterectomy. this study was done to assess the feasibility, safety, and immediate and late clinical outcomes in patients undergoing carotid stenting . methods: between july 2008 and december 2009, a total of 40 patients (20 male, mean age: 65 ± 11 years, 19 symptomatic, and 90% high risk for endarterectomy) underwent carotid artery stenting with different embolic protection devices and carotid stents. thirty-seven patients had coronary artery disease. technical success rate, stroke/death/ myocardial infarction rate at 30 days, access-site complications, and contrast-induced nephropathy were assessed. for the evaluation of the influence of experience in carotid artery stenting on complications, the patients were divided into two groups: group 1 included the first 20 treated patients and group 2 comprised the remainder of the patients . results: the overall technical success rate was 100%. the cumulative in-hospital stroke death rate was 7.5% (n = 3: 2 deaths and 1 major stroke). complications were more frequent in group 1 (2/20, 10%; 2 deaths) than in group 2 (1/20, 5%; 1 major stroke), but this was not statistically significant (p value = 0.09). no access-site complications occurred, and mild contrast-induced nephropathy occurred in 3 patients (7.5%). no major stroke or neurological deaths occurred during a mean follow-up of 12 months . conclusion: carotid stenting seemed feasible and relatively safe in our experience. advanced experience in carotid artery stenting appears to confer an acceptable peri-procedural stroke-death rate.

Carotid Artery Stenting: A Single Center “Real World” Experience

BACKGROUND Percutaneous carotid artery stenting (CAS) became a widely used procedure in patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. However its role compared to carotid endarterectomy (CAD) remains questioned. We analysed the safety of carotid artery stenting program of a prospective CAS register program of a tertiary teaching hospital. METHOD Between July 2003 and Dec...

Safety of Early Carotid Artery Stenting after Systemic Thrombolysis: A Single Center Experience

Background. Patients with acute ischemic stroke due to internal carotid artery (ICA) disease are at high risk of early stroke recurrence. A combination of IV thrombolysis and early carotid artery stenting (CAS) may result in more effective secondary stroke prevention. Objective. We tested safety and durability of early CAS following IV thrombolysis in stroke patients with residual stenosis in t...

Innominate Artery Stenting: A Single Centre Experience

Innominate and common carotid artery lesions have usually been treated surgically with extra-anatomic bypass via a cervical approach or median sternotomy. The transtoracic approach succeeded in providing direct access to proximal aortic arch branch vessel lesions, but these approach was associated with rather high mortality rate (22%) [1-4]. In 1967, Diethrich et al. [5] reported the first extr...

Carotid angioplasty and stenting vs carotid endarterectomy for treatment of asymptomatic disease: single-center experience.

BACKGROUND Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) with embolic protection is an acceptable alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in selected patients with symptomatic cervical carotid artery disease. Whether outcomes after CAS are comparable to those after CEA in the larger population of patients with asymptomatic disease is unclear. HYPOTHESIS Carotid angioplasty and stenting performed...
