Angioplasty And Stenting

Following the favorable results obtained in the treatment of coronary artery disease, combined angioplasty and stenting has been advocated for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis as well. Although widespread application of angioplasty and stenting for carotid artery disease is neither indicated nor recommended, it may be a viable alternative therapy for select patients who are high-risk patients for surgery. The results of early series have suggested that endoluminal revascularization in these high-risk patients can be performed with an acceptable degree of safety. Although the incidence of death and major stroke rates following angioplasty and stenting procedures compares favorably with surgery, results of more recent clinical series have suggested that the incidence of perioperative transient neurological events and minor strokes may be higher than suggested by earlier reports, especially in patients with recent neurological symptoms and “unstable” plaques. In this article, the authors review the current potential indications for and preliminary results of angioplasty and stenting and describe their procedural technique. In addition, potential applications of stenting to intracranial thromboocclusive carotid artery disease are reviewed.
