A journal article was submitted detailing retrospective analysis of patients who underwent carotid artery stenting (cas) for carotid atherosclerotic disease.102 patients were included in the study with a total of 105 cas procedures performed.Medtronic¿s protégé carotid stent was amongst the devices implanted in the population.Approximately 92% of the stents used in the study were non-medtronic stents.Periprocedural complications included were stroke, 2.7 %, tia, 1.8 %; cardiac, 0.9 %; and others, 0.9 %), with permanent complications of 3.6 %.Restenosis was reported in 26.7% of cases, with 1.9% requiring endovascular intervention.The remainder were asymptomatic or managed with medical therapy.Two thirds of restenosis occurred within the first 8 months of the stenting, whereas in two of our patients, as late as 40 months from the initial stenting.Use of one identified non-medtronic stent was noted to be related to the prevalence of restenosis.
