About

Stenting is an alternative to traditional surgery in the treatment of carotid stenosis.The intra and/or postprocedural cerebral embolization remains the most frequent complication. Thanks to the systematic use of cerebral protection systems, these complications have reduced.A debate concerning which cerebral protective device should be more effective is still ongoing.
