Carotid Artery Angioplasty and Stenting as a First-choice Revascularization Therapy for Cervical Carotid Artery Stenosis.
Interventional Neuroradiology 2006 January 21
SUMMARY: We examined the patients with cervical carotid artery stenosis (> 70%) treated by carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) as a firstchoice direct revascularization therapy. The patients consisted of 45 men and seven women; their mean age was 70.4 years (range, 54-84 yr), with 60 cervical carotid stenosis (39 symptomatic and 21 asymptomatic). Sixty procedures resulted in successful stent deployment in 55 cases, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) only without stenting in three, and failed angioplasty due to inaccessibility in two. Morbidity was seen in three cases associated with thromboembolic complication. Instent restenosis was observed in one case, which was successfully treated with subsequent PTA. CAS seems reasonable treatment for cervical carotid artery stenosis, although further accumulation of the cases will be needed to evaluate the efficacy between CAS and carotid endarterectomy.
