“…Therefore, cerebral DW-MRI imaging is going to continue to provide a sensitive surrogate in the evaluation of novel carotid revascularization technologies and treatment strategies. 48,56,57,59,61,68,69 One obvious question would be whether different sizes of mesh pores are associated with any differences in embolic prevention efficacy as per the number and size of DW-MRI cerebral lesions. 67 However, a number of other important factors of DW-MRI cerebral lesions, such as the plaque type and procedural strategy (eg, proximal vs distal neuroprotection) need to be taken into consideration in any direct or indirect comparative analyses of dual-layered stents.…”
