Endovascular Treatment of Extracranial Internal Carotid Artery Stenosis
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2005, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study is to present first year experience of a center on carotid artery stenting under filter-type protection devices, on 29 patients. Material-Methods We have performed 30 carotid stenting under filter-type distal protection systems, in 29 cases. The age range was 51-76 (mean age 65.66±6.28), 5 of the cases were female and 24 were male. Results The stenting procedure was technically successful in all of the cases. In one of the case use of second stent was necessary due to stent migration. There were no transient or permanent neurologic signs observed. Conclusion Stroke is the third most common cause of all deaths and internal carotid artery bulb stenosis is an important source of stroke. Carotid artery stenting has become a standard treatment of atherosclerotic carotid artery disease, but procedure related intracranial embolization remains a limitation of technique. In the presented study, we have used nonocclusive-filter type distal protection devices. Experience of operator and center is closely related success rate. In this study, we are presenting the first year experience of a new interventional neuroradiology center, documenting the cases, sharing the difficulties and discussing about the results and follow-up.
