Abstract

Angioplasty Carotid artery Embolic protection device Stenting Unprotected
Embolic protection devices are routinely used during carotid artery stenting procedures to theoretically reduce the risk of distal embolization. Although this is a standard procedural recommendation, no large randomized studies have shown superiority of these devices over unprotected stenting procedures.
