Stroke is the fourth leading cause of death and the number one cause of long-term disability
in the United States. Carotid stenosis is an important cause of ischemic strokes, accounting …

Background and Purpose—To evaluate the periprocedural outcome after carotid artery
stenting with embolic brain protection (EBP+) versus without embolic brain protection …

Background: Neuroendovascular techniques have significantly altered the treatment
paradigm of cerebrovascular diseases. Since the introduction of distal cerebral protection …

Entrapment and fracture of carotid angioplasty and stenting hardware is a rare complication
of percutaneous stenting procedures. We describe a case of a retained distal filter embolic …

After carotid artery stenting, retrieval of the embolic protection device can sometimes be
difficult due to incomplete stent expansion, stent fracture, vasospasm, and vessel tortuosity …

In this technical report, we describe a challenging case concerning the retrieval of a distal
embolic protection device (DEPD) post-carotid artery stenting. We propose a novel rescue …

Background We investigated the incidence of embolic protection device retrieval difficulties
at carotid artery stenting (CAS) with a closed-cell stent and demonstrated the usefulness of a …

Background Distal embolic protection devices have been widely used to reduce the
incidence of embolic events during carotid artery stenting. Entrapment of an embolic …

Background Despite the development of neuroendovascular treatment, device-related
complications requiring surgical procedures remain. We report a case requiring surgical …

Carotid artery stenting is a treatment option for patients with significant symptomatic or
asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Although use of an embolic protection device during …
