Stent placement for treatment of long-segment (≥40 mm) carotid atherosclerotic stenosis: Results and long-term follow-up in a single-center experience

Stent placement for treatment of long-segment (≥40 mm) carotid atherosclerotic stenosis: Results and long-term follow-up in a single-center experience

Highlights • Treatment of long segment carotid stenosis (≥40 mm) with carotid artery stenting (CAS) has rarely been reported. • All of our procedures were performed successfully, and the luminal diameter increased significantly post dilatation. • Our study showed that stenting for long carotid steno...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • Treatment of long segment carotid stenosis (≥40 mm) with carotid artery stenting (CAS) has rarely been reported. • All of our procedures were performed successfully, and the luminal diameter increased significantly post dilatation. • Our study showed that stenting for long carotid stenosis (≥40 mm) can be beneficial.
