Abstract:
Objective To evaluated the safety and complications of endovasdcular stenting for symptomatic carotid stenosis with surgical high risk.Methods A series of 11 vessels in 9 patients at surgical high risk were treated by endovascular stenting. The complications during the procedures and postoperative periods were analyzed within one to five months. Results All of the operations were successfully performed without any serious complications. During the follow up period (averaging 6 months), there were no complications of TIAs, stokes and restenoses.Conclusions The study suggests that endovascular stenting may be safe and effective for patients at surgical high risk, but further more study is needed.
