Abstract

Severe carotid stenosis is traditionally treated by carotid endarterectomy (CEA), given that multicenter trials have shown a bene fit in stroke reduction in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) with cerebral protection has become an alternative to CEA in high-surgical-risk patients and the procedure of choice in patients with hostile neck anatomy or highly inaccessible lesions. This chapter summarizes and critically analyzes the existing data on CAS and the current indications for its use.
