Safety of Latest-Generation Self-expanding Stents in Patients With NASCET-Ineligible Severe Symptomatic Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis

Abstract

Extracranial CAS with the latest-generation self-expanding stents is a valid alternative treatment in high-risk or North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial-ineligible patients.

Endovascular therapy of carotid artery stenosis: a prospective case study

“…The NASCET exclusion criteria have been associated with a significant increase in the risk of stroke or death after CEA 23. In our study, no correlation was seen (figures 1 and 2), which is also believed to be due to the above mentioned periprocedural monitoring.…”

Comparison of Self-Expanding Stents With Distal Embolic Protection to Balloon-Expandable Stents Without a Protection Device in the Treatment of Symptomatic Vertebral Artery Origin Stenosis

“…Keeping the latter point in mind, selfexpanding stents offer the potential advantage of less injury to the vessel wall because of reduced need for high-pressure dilation, as seen in the carotid artery stenting literature. 36,37 The super-elastic properties of nitinol stents allow for gentle deployment with less trauma and an overall greater adaptation to vessel diameter change. 38 Our study provides a unique insight into VAOS treatment given the relatively large sample size randomized to SES + EPD or BES without a distal EPD.…”

Use of Self-Expanding Stents for the Treatment of Vertebral Artery Ostial Stenosis: a Single Center Experience

“…This stent is an open-cell type and made of laser-cut nitinol (26, 27). The potential superiority of SESs over BESs may be related to the difference in their mechanical properties.…”
