BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Membrane filters are EPDs, which preserve ICA flow
during CAS. However, ICA flow arrest may occur with filter use. This report describes the …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: If blood flow in the ICA is reduced by the use of a distal
filter during CAS, flow stagnation proximal to the filter occurs and this increases the …

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have investigated the development of new ischemic brain
lesions on diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) after carotid artery …

Purpose: To investigate the impact of filter design on blood flow impairment in the internal
carotid artery (ICA) among patients undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS) using filtertype …

Purpose: To report the complications, rescue procedures, and consequences related to the
use of an embolus protection filter during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods: A …

Purpose: To determine any relationship between angiographically documented flow
impairment associated with the Angioguard XP cerebral protection filter during carotid artery …

Background Carotid artery stenting (CAS) with distal filter protection allows continuous
cerebral perfusion, although it is associated with a greater risk of cerebral ischemic …

Aim. Stenting of carotid arteries is at risk for embolic compli-cation with cerebral ischemia.
The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, quality and clinical relevance of …

Background—Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has become an alternative treatment for patients
presenting symptomatic carotid artery stenosis. The improvement in clinical outcomes with …

We investigated the angiographic findings and the clinical outcomes after carotid artery
stenting (CAS) using two different, eccentric filter embolic protection devices (EPDs) …
