Background: Different embolic protection devices in carotid artery stenting(CAS) have been developed to prevent procedural cerebral embolization. Proximal flow reverse protection has theoretically advantages from the view point of prevention of distal embolism, compared with distal protection. On the other hand, there is a disadvantage that this system is complexity. Purpose: we evaluated the safety and efficacy of proximal reverse flow protection for CAS in patients with high-grade stenosis. Methods: Distal protection has mainly been used as protection device in our institute. In case that there was high possibility of distal embolism, proximal reverse flow protection has been used. These cases treated with proximal flow reverse protection were included in this study. A total of 75 patients(71 men, mean age 71.9 years) with a high grade stenosis≧80% were treated between September 2003 and March 2012. 72% (n=54) of the patients were symptomatic.The primary endpoint was death and stroke rate at 30 days. The outcome was also compared to data from 386 patients with a high-grade stenosis who were treated under only distal protection device in the same period. Results: The procedure was technically successful in all cases. In 2 cases out of proximal reverse flow protection group, intracerebral hemorrhage was occurred. However, there was no ischemic complication. In distal protection group, the incidence of complication occurred in 11 cases (7 ischemic, 4 otheres). The stroke/death rate at 30 days was 2.6% (n=2) in proximal reverse flow protection group compared to 2.8% (n=11) in the distal protection group. There was no significant difference. However, the incidence of ischemic complication in the proximal reverse flow protection group tended to be lower than that of distal protection group. Conclusion: In selected patients with large atherosclerotic plaques, the clinical results of CAS with proximal reverse flow protection is safe and feasible. Especially, the incidence of ischemic stroke was lower than that of distal protection.

Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) performed without an embolic protection device (EPD) in a selected group of asymptomatic patients with primary internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis or restenosis after carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Materials and Methods: Between May 2015 and May 2018, 77 patients (mean age 77 years; 60 men) underwent CAS without any embolic protection device. Forty-seven (61%) patients had primary ICA stenosis and were excluded from CEA because of high surgical risk; the other 30 (39%) patients had post-CEA restenosis (n=26) or a distal ICA flap after eversion CEA (n=4). The mean ICA stenosis was 82%. All procedures were performed from a femoral artery access. Pre- and/or postdilation were used in 64 patients. The primary outcome was the incidence of major complications (death, stroke, or myocardial infarction) during the procedure and within 30 days; the secondary outcome was the incidence of restenosis in follow-up. Results: No relevant bradycardia was encountered during CAS. The combined rate of stroke, death, or myocardial infarction at 30 days was 1.3%. The single stroke patient recovered fully after 2 months. Over a follow-up that ranged to 3 years (mean 24±18 months), no further neurological events were recorded. One (1.3%) patient had a >70% restenosis after 6 months; the lesion was dilated, successfully restoring the lumen contour. Conclusion: In our series, endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis without the use of protection devices in patients with primary stenosis or postsurgical restenosis can achieve satisfactory safety and efficacy outcomes. The choice of performing CAS without using EPDs should follow a tailored approach based on the appropriate patient anatomy and specific clinical parameters to minimize neurological complications.

We perfomed carotid artery stenting (CAS) in 215 patients from August 1997 to October 2003 mainly using the distal protection technique. Our technique and clinical results are described in this paper.

Objective To investigate whether staged angioplasty (SAP) is a safe and effective treatment to prevent hyperperfusion syndrome after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods A systematic literature search was performed according to established criteria to identify eligible articles published before October 2020. Pooled dichotomous data were presented as odds ratios (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI) using random-effect models. The efficacy endpoints were hyperperfusion syndrome (HPS), hyperperfusion phenomenon (HPP), and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The safety endpoint was post-procedural thromboembolic events. The feasibility of the procedure was assessed by device-related adverse events (vessel dissection and failed angioplasty) in SAP. Results Ten studies (1030 participants) were eligible. SAP was superior to regular CAS in preventing HPS (OR = 0.35, 95% CI 0.14–0.86, P = 0.02). There was no significant difference in the rate of thromboembolic events between the SAP group and the regular CAS group. The rates of vessel dissection and failed angioplasty with the use of a 3.0-mm-diameter balloon were 5.4% and 0.4%, respectively. Conclusion SAP may reduce the incidence of post-CAS HPS without increasing procedure-related complications. A 3.0-mm-diameter balloon used in SAP may be appropriate for Asian populations. However, the confounded study design and confused definitions of reporting items hinder the current recommendation of SAP in clinical use.

Introduction: One of the most feared complications of carotid revascularization, including carotid artery stenting (CAS), is peri-procedural ischemic stroke. Several studies suggest that the use of a distal embolic protection device (EPD), as well as over-sized pre- and post-stenting balloon angioplasty, may increase the risk of dislodgement of atheromatous plaque in patients undergoing CAS. The CREST trial, that mandated the use of an EPD, had a peri-procedural ischemic stroke rate of 4.1%. We hypothesize that our technique of stenting without the use of an EPD and sub-maximal angioplasty will have a low risk of peri-procedural complications. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of consecutive cases of ICA stenting without use of an embolic protection device between January 2012 and June 2020 at a Canadian stroke centre. Data was extracted from the patient electronic medical record and Picture Archives and Communications Systems (PACS). Both symptomatic and asymptomatic CAS cases were included. Results: A total of 220 patients were included in the study, with a median age of 70 years (range 39-93 years), and 83 patients (38%) were female. The vast majority of patients were symptomatic (216 patients [98%]). A large portion of patients had a contralateral ICA occlusion or near occlusion (56 patients [25%]). In the majority of cases, a Precise Cordis RX carotid stent (Cordis) was placed. There were four patients with peri-procedural ischemic strokes (1.8%), with two occurring 8-30 days after stenting. There was one case of acute stent occlusion associated with an ischemic stroke. Two patients (less than 1%) had hyperperfusion syndrome after CAS. Median length of stay following the procedure was one day. Conclusions: In this single centre series, the peri-procedural risks of CAS without using an EPD are low. The ischemic stroke rate is less than 2%, lower than what has been reported in large randomized controlled trials using embolic protection.
