Summary

The goal of the proposed study is to contrast the relative efficacy of closed-cell stents versus open-cell stents in preventing periprocedural cerebral embolization in high-risk patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic extracranial carotid stenosis undergoing carotid artery stenting (CAS).

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

closed-cell stent (Xact stent)

Patients enrolled in this study arm underwent for carotid stenting using closed stent cell. The graft used in this groups was the Xact closed-cell stent. This type of device is rigid device with dense conposition of the nitinol rigns. Carotid stenting was used on standard fashion using filters as embolic protection device.

DEVICE

Open-cell stent (Acculink carotid)

Patients enrolled in this study arm underwent for carotid stenting using open stent cell stents. This type of stent is a tube shaped graft composed of flexible nitinol rings. The device used in this group was the Acculinx open-cell stent. Stenting procedure eas performed on standard fashion.Filters were used as embolic protection device.
