Benefits of Cerebral Protection during Carotid Stenting with the PercuSurge GuardWire System: Midterm Results

Abstract

This study yielded a favorably low rate of periprocedural embolic events comparable with standard CAS series. Protection devices may play an important role in future carotid interventions and expand the applicability of the procedure. Randomized studies (surgery versus CAS with and without cerebral protection) are awaited.
