In this study we performed 548 carotid revascularizations between 2006 and 2008 at the Department of Vascular Surgery of the A.Z. Sint-Blasius, Dendermonde, Belgium - a high-volume experienced center for carotid artery stenting (CAS). In 2006, our 30-day complication rates were 3.21 and 1.51% for symptomatic and asymptomatic patients, respectively. At that time, CAS represented approximately 86% of all cases we performed. However, the publication of the results of EVA-3S and SPACE studies drove us to reconsider our treatment allocation algorithm. In 2007 and 2008, CAS procedures only accounted for 43% of all carotid procedures, which was a result of strict patient selection with comorbidities and high-risk lesions assessment, especially in symptomatic patients. Our current 30-day stroke/death rates are 1.24% for symptomatic patients and 0.53% for asymptomatic ones, which reflects that correct patient selection is the key to maintain CAS as a valuable alternative to carotid endarterectomy.
