Carotid arterial stenting
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Carotid arterial stenting (CAS) is a minimally invasive endovascular interventional procedure.
Indications
Indications of carotid stenting are evolving with endarterectomy trials.:
- symptomatic patients with at least 70% stenosis (NASCET Trial)
- asymptomatic patients with greater than 60% stenosis
- symptomatic patients with stenosis of at least 50
- 69-69% stenosis.
Contraindications
- complete carotid occlusion
- major disabling stroke on the ipsilateral side
/ disabling/disabling dementia - intracranial tumour
/ haemorrhage/haemorrhage - thick Calcification at the site of carotid stenosis
Complications
- preprocedural cerebrovascular accident
:- reported incidence is at
~ 8~8% 3
- reported incidence is at
- recurrent carotid arterial stenosis
:- reported incidence is at
~ 6~6% at 1 year 4
- reported incidence is at
