- 20 Mar 2010 - 
TL;DR: Completion of long-term follow-up is needed to establish the efficacy of carotid artery stenting compared with endarterectomy, but in the meantime, carotin artery stent should remain the treatment of choice for patients suitable for surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Results of the ROADSTER multicenter trial of transcarotid stenting with dynamic flow reversal

TL;DR: The ROADSTER trial demonstrate that the use of the ENROUTE Transcarotid NPS is safe and effective at preventing stroke during CAS, and the overall stroke rate of 1.4% is the lowest reported to date for any prospective, multicenter clinical trial of CAS.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multicenter evaluation of carotid artery stenting with a filter protection system

TL;DR: Carotid artery stenting with filter protection is technically feasible and safe and early clinical outcomes appear to be favorable and need to be confirmed in a larger comparative study.
Journal ArticleDOI
