PURPOSE: Protected carotid artery stent placement is currently under clinical evaluation as
a potential alternative to carotid endarterectomy. The current study was undertaken to …

BACKGROUND: The use of a distal filter cerebral protection device with carotid artery
stenting is commonplace. There is little evidence, however, that filters are effective in …

Background: Our aim was to determine whether filter protection reduces embolisation to the
brain during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: Thirty patients with symptomatic carotid …

Background—Distal embolization of debris during percutaneous carotid artery stenting may
result in neurological deficit. Filter devices for cerebral protection potentially reduce the risk …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To assess by diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) the
efficacy of cerebral protection devices in avoiding embolization and new ischemic lesions in …

OBJECTIVES: Neurologic complications during carotid artery stenting (CAS) are most
clearly associated with embolization of visible debris. Distal filter devices may provide …

Objective The aim of this study was to examine the incidence of ischemia during protected
carotid artery stenting (CAS) as well as to compare the protective efficacy of the balloon and …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The clinical efficacy of filter devices in internal carotid
artery (ICA) stent placement has been a matter of controversy. The aim of this retrospective …

BACKGROUND: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) with distal filter protection allows for
continuous cerebral perfusion. However, this procedure has been reported to be associated …

BACKGROUND: This was a prospective single-center study to assess and analyze cerebral
embolization resulting from carotid artery stenting with neuroprotective filter devices in …
