Effectiveness of endo-vascular treatment in carotid artery stenosis: A single center study

Aim: To investigate the safety and effectiveness of endo-vascular stents to treat carotid artery stenosis (CAS).Material and Methods: One-hundred fourteen patients who underwent selective endo-vascular stenting following selective carotidangiography between 2000 and 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Demographic characteristics; stenosis degree; stent type; useof anti-coagulants and embolism protection system (EPS) during the procedure; pre-dilation and post-dilation during the procedure;use of a vascular occlusion device after the procedure; early complications (
