Abstract:
Objective To promote the application of angioplasty and stenting technique for the treatment of carotid artery stenosis in China. Methods The angioplasty and stenting were performed in 12 cases with carotid artery stenosis, of which 7 were symptomatic. Of 12 cases, 10 were atherosclerotic and the other 2 were of Takayasu′s disease. Results 11 stents were successfully implanted. Minor stroke occurred in 2 cases during the procedure and both were completely recovered with thrombolytic treatment in less than 1 hour. Follow up of the 11 cases 6 months through 4 and half years, no restenosis and ischemic symptoms were revealed. Conclusion Endovascular stent placement for carotid artery occlusive disease is evolving to an accepted alternative to surgery. The use of cerebral protection during the proceture is needed in the future.
