Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 172 carotid artery stenting (CAS) procedures to determine the effectiveness of a new guiding catheter in challenging aortic arch anatomies.
- In patients with complex aortic arch structures, those treated with the new guiding catheter had significantly better outcomes, including shorter procedural times and fewer complications.
- The findings suggest that using this dedicated guiding catheter could enhance safety and efficiency during CAS in patients with difficult anatomical conditions.
Occlusion of the contralateral internal carotid artery (ICA) is considered to have a significant impact on the outcome of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). The purpose of this study was to review one center's experience concerning CEA opposite an occluded ICA, to see whether results differed from those obtained in patients with patent contralateral ICA in terms of relevant neurologic complication rate (RNCR, fatal + disabling stroke), stroke-free rate, and survival rate. From January 1997 to December 2002, 1,381 patients underwent a total of 1,445 CEAs at the Department of Vascular Surgery of Padua University.
