Clinical Outcomes of Carotid Artery Stenting for Carotid Artery Stenosis in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.

Most previous large studies of carotid artery stenting (CAS) in maintenance hemodialysis patients are old-era, do not describe the types of stents and method of protection, and their effectiveness is unknown. CAS has progressed remarkably, and tailor-made CAS is now possible in hemodialysis patients according to the lesion. We aimed to analyze the outcomes of CAS in maintenance hemodialysis patients treated in our institution.
