Reporting Standards for Carotid Artery Angioplasty and Stent Placement
2009, Journal of Vascular and Interventional RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Despite the fact that it is unknown whether these benefits apply to the carotid circulation, endovascular carotid revascularization is now most commonly performed with stents. Since 1996, there have been 11 large carotid stent series published in which the total number of patients is 1311 (71,91–101) (Table 3). Comparative analysis of these reports is made difficult by inconsistencies in the sample populations, lesion characteristics, endovascular techniques, and outcome data.
Endarterectomy or carotid artery stenting: the quest continues
2008, American Journal of SurgeryCitation Excerpt :The first balloon angioplasty for carotid stenosis was performed in 1979, and reports in the 1980s included balloon occlusion to decrease embolic complications [41–43]. Meanwhile, carotid artery stenting has been presented in an increasing variety of publications as a viable alternative to CEA in the treatment of patients with extracranial carotid stenosis [43–50]. Several arguments have been brought forward to advocate its use.
Angiographic lesion characteristics can predict adverse outcomes after carotid artery stenting

2002, Journal of Vascular SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Percutaneous CAS has emerged as an appealing therapeutic alternative in these cases, with the potential to achieve results equal or possibly superior to those of CEA in the same clinical setting. With this in mind, the senior author (F.J.C.) began to offer endovascular intervention to selected patients in 1994.4 This initial effort involved a direct cervical approach to the carotid artery and the use of balloon-expandable stents.
