BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Incomplete stent apposition after carotid angioplasty and
stent placement (CAS) is often seen but little is known about how the incomplete attachment …

Objective: A case in which angioscopy was useful for the evaluation of plaque protrusion
during carotid artery stenting (CAS) is reported. Case Presentations: The patient was a 67 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the anatomical risk factors for ischemic lesions
detected by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) associated with carotid artery stenting (CAS) …

Objective: The association between stent design and post-stent intravascular findings after
carotid artery stenting (CAS) was evaluated. Methods: Among the 79 patients who …

PURPOSE: To examine the prevalence of in-stent lesions 1 month after carotid artery stent
placement with multidetector computed tomography (CT) angiography and to evaluate their …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The details of stent reconstruction in the vascular lumen
and of the adaptation of carotid stents, the vessel wall, and the vascular anatomy are only …

Background The CASPER stent is expected to reduce periprocedural ischemic
complications, but there is concern about restenosis in the early period. One-year follow-up …

Purpose: To evaluate the rate of stent malapposition, plaque prolapse, and fibrous cap
rupture detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT) after carotid artery stenting (CAS) …

Background and purpose. We assessed whether intentional undersized dilatation of
targeted lesions during carotid artery stenting (CAS) carried a higher risk of in-stent …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Concern regarding the safety of stent implantation in the
carotid artery exists because of the risk of cerebral embolization during the procedure. The …
