Endovascular Therapeutics, University Hospital System of Cleveland, OH 44145, USA.
Background: The distal-balloon protection system is being evaluated for its efficacy in preventing embolic neurological events during carotid stenting (CAS). We sought to determine the effect of this system on the frequency of the Doppler-detected microembolic signals (MES) during CAS.
Methods: Using transcranial Doppler, we compared the frequency of MES during CAS in 2 groups; 39 patients without distal protection and 37 with the distal-balloon protection system (GuardWire, Percusurge, Sunnyville, CA).
