The Mean

We performed carotid stenting with Wallstent for 22 cases. The mean stenosis was 74.3 ± 11.2% before stenting and 14.2 ± 8.8% after stenting. The technical success (<40% residual stenosis) was 100%. We experienced 2 embolic complications (one TIA and one minor stroke). Permanent neurological deficits were not encountered in all the patients (0%). Restenosis was observed in 2 cases (12.5%). The both lesions revealed intimal hyperplasia on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). MRI diffusion weighted study showed that distal embolism happened more often (46.2%) than we expected although most of them were asymptomatic. We must wait for the long term result to conclude that carotid stenting has become one of the treatment modalities.

The Mean

The results of nine patients with carotid stenosis in a high-risk surgical population that were treated by stent supported angioplasty are reported. There were eight males and one female between the ages of 53 to 74. A balloon expandable stent was deployed by a transfemoral approach. Technical success was achieved in all cases. There were no periprocedural complications. The mean % stenosis decreased from 84% to 5.2% after stenting. No arterial dissection was recorded and smooth contour of the vessel was demonstrated in all patients. We have observed long term patency for over 6 months in seven patients. Mean angiographic stenosis was 20% and 21% at 3 and 6 months, respectively (range, 5 to 32%). No further stenosis was recorded. Carotid stenting is an alternative strategy to carotid endoarterectomy (CEA) for high-risk patients, for whom the complications of CEA may exceed the potential benefits.
