Carotid/Vertebral Artery Stenosis
Aggressive medical therapy without the addition of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting (PTAS) provides better outcomes than does stenting plus medical therapy across subpopulations of patients with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis, according to an analysis of SAMMPRIS data published online September 17, 2015 ahead of print in Stroke
The use of double embolic protection devices—both proximal and distal—allows carotid artery stenting (CAS) to be performed in patients with high-risk clinical and lesion characteristics, according to research published online September 10, 2015, ahead of print in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions…
Despite better patient selection and increasing experience with carotid artery stenting (CAS) over the course of the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy versus Stenting Trial (CREST), there were no concurrent improvements in periprocedural events over time. The findings come from a new analysis published online July 14, 2015, ahead of print in Stroke.…
Release of data from CREST in 2010 did not sway clinicians towards one way or the other toward stenting vs surgery for the treatment of carotid artery disease, according to a study published online July 21, 2015, ahead of print in Neurosurgery.…
