Radial and ulnar approach for carotid artery stenting with Roadsaver™ double layer micromesh stent: Early and long‐term follow‐up

“…The reason for the imprecise DUS assessment might be arising due to the fact that the stent implantation leads to increased rigidity of the arterial lumen and higher PSV in that segment. PSV varies up to 30% higher in the stented arteries, compared to the PSV in the native arteries 46 . Still in patients with confirmed significant restenosis on US, an angiographic estimation is necessary for gaining clarity in further treatment.…”

In-stent stenosis of the internal carotid artery

“…At present, the treatment of internal carotid artery stenosis has been extensively modified, passing from endarterectomy to balloon plasty and stent placement, generating a significant reduction in surgical risk [1]. In-stent stenosis is reported in up to 30% of cases and patients generally present with a transient ischemic attack or stroke [2].…”
