Carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) provided comparable outcomes over time in asymptomatic patients receiving good medical therapy in the largest trial to date of what to do ...

Carotid artery stenting is associated with a higher long-term risk for moderate or higher restenosis than is the surgical procedure of endarterectomy, but this did not seem to translate into an ...

While it has been up for debate whether a catheter-based minimally invasive stenting procedure or open surgery is the best treatment for asymptomatic severe carotid artery stenosis, researchers said ...

Carotid artery surgery and stenting have comparable long-term effects on fatal or disabling stroke in asymptomatic patients with severe carotid artery stenosis. That's the finding of late breaking ...

Long-term results from the largest randomized trial of stenting and surgery have shown that the procedures are equally protective against stroke resulting from carotid artery disease. The results were ...

For patients with life-threatening aneurysms of the carotid artery in the neck, a minimally invasive stent-grafting technique can be just as effective as traditional open surgery, but with faster ...

A “three-in-one stent” for carotid artery revascularization that includes both an embolic filter and a postdilation balloon appears to offer one of the lowest stroke rates ever reported in patients at ...

Each year, more than 100,000 patients who have experienced a stroke or a transient ischemic attack (TIA), also known as a “mini-stroke,” undergo a carotid artery stenting procedure to increase blood ...

Carotid artery surgery and stenting have comparable long-term effects on fatal or disabling stroke in asymptomatic patients with severe carotid artery stenosis. That's the finding of late breaking ...
