Abstract Carotid artery stenting has become a viable alternative to carotid endarterectomy in the management of carotid stenosis. Over the past 20 years, many trials have attempted to compare both treatment modalities and establish the indications for each one, depending on clinical and anatomic features presented by patients. Concurrently, carotid stenting techniques and devices have evolved and made endovascular management of carotid stenosis safe and effective. Among the most important innovations are devices for distal and proximal embolic protection and new stent designs. This paper reviews these advances in the endovascular management of carotid artery stenosis within the context of the historical background.

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of carotid artery stenting (CAS) performed by a dedicated multidisciplinary team in a community hospital. Methods: Forty-nine patients (30 men; mean age 74.3 ± 7.4 years, range 51–88) with 14 symptomatic and 35 asymptomatic >50% carotid stenoses were enrolled into the study and treated with self-expanding stents without cerebral protection. The patients were evaluated at 30 days for death, neurological sequelae, and length of stay. A contemporaneous group of 140 patients (80 men; mean age 72.3 ± 7.7 years, range 43–89) undergoing carotid endarterectomy (CEA) was used for comparison of the outcome measures. Owing to crossover of failed CAS patients to the CEA group, the data were analyzed according to intention-to-treat and treatment-received. Results: The only difference in baseline characteristics between the treatment and control groups was the greater frequency of bilateral disease in the CEA group (p=0.009). The CAS procedures were successful in 47 (96.0%) patients; 2 access failures were converted to endarterectomy, and 1 access-site pseudoaneurysm was treated surgically. There were no deaths or myocardial infarctions in either group. In the CAS group, there were no major and only 2 (4.1%) minor strokes compared to 4 (2.9%) major and 4 (2.9%) minor strokes in the CEA group (p>0.05). Median LOS was significantly lower in the CAS group (p<0.0001). Conclusions: Careful case selection and multidisciplinary collaboration facilitate the safe performance of carotid stenting in a community setting with acceptable early results.

Abstract Objective To validate the previously derived Canadian TIA Score to stratify subsequent stroke risk in a new cohort of emergency department patients with transient ischaemic attack. Design Prospective cohort study. Setting 13 Canadian emergency departments over five years. Participants 7607 consecutively enrolled adult patients attending the emergency department with transient ischaemic attack or minor stroke. Main outcome measures The primary outcome was subsequent stroke or carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting within seven days. The secondary outcome was subsequent stroke within seven days (with or without carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting). Telephone follow-up used the validated Questionnaire for Verifying Stroke Free Status at seven and 90 days. All outcomes were adjudicated by panels of three stroke experts, blinded to the index emergency department visit. Results Of the 7607 patients, 108 (1.4%) had a subsequent stroke within seven days, 83 (1.1%) had carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting within seven days, and nine had both. The Canadian TIA Score stratified the risk of stroke, carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting, or both within seven days as low (risk ≤0.5%; interval likelihood ratio 0.20, 95% confidence interval 0.09 to 0.44), medium (risk 2.3%; interval likelihood ratio 0.94, 0.85 to 1.04), and high (risk 5.9% interval likelihood ratio 2.56, 2.02 to 3.25) more accurately (area under the curve 0.70, 95% confidence interval 0.66 to 0.73) than did the ABCD2 (0.60, 0.55 to 0.64) or ABCD2i (0.64, 0.59 to 0.68). Results were similar for subsequent stroke regardless of carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting within seven days. Conclusion The Canadian TIA Score stratifies patients’ seven day risk for stroke, with or without carotid endarterectomy/carotid artery stenting, and is now ready for clinical use. Incorporating this validated risk estimate into management plans should improve early decision making at the index emergency visit regarding benefits of hospital admission, timing of investigations, and prioritisation of specialist referral.
