Abstract:
Objective To study the safety and efficacy of endovascular therapy in the treatment of complicated extracranial carotid stenosis in patients with high surgical risk. Methods Seven patients with high surgical risk of complicated extracranial carotid stenosis received endovascular stenting. Results The stents were accurately implanted,and total disappearance of stenosis was obtained in 4 patients and the degree of stenosis reduced more than 90% in other 3 patients.The clinical symptoms were improved significantly or disappeared after the procedure without any complications. Follow up from 3 to 23 months,no restenosis and ischemic symptoms were noted in all cases. Conclusions Endovascular stenting is a safe and valid method of choice for the treatment of complicated extracranial carotid stenosis in high surgical risk patients.
