Abstract
Conclusion:
• Carotid vascular disease is prevalent in the US and
results in significant mortality and morbidity when
untreated
• Results of trials comparing the invasive treatment
options are ongoing and have shown somewhat
conflicting results
• Studies support the use of angioplasty and stenting in
certain patient populations
• Patients with carotid stenosis who are likely to benefit
more from carotid angioplasty and stenting than from
CEA include pts with significant comorbidities that
make them poor surgical candidates
• Elderly pts may be at higher risk of having a minor
stroke within 30 days following stenting than CEA
• The use of protective embolic filters is important in the
outcome following angioplasty and stenting
