Abstract
Stroke—the third leading cause of death in industrialized countries, is very frequently caused by carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an endovascular surgery where a stent (a tube-like metalic mesh) is deployed within the lumen of the affected artery to dilate it and prevent a stroke. Two types of embolic protection devices are commonly used during CAS—distal protection devices (filters) and proximal protection devices. The aim of this single-center, randomized, prospective study was to compare the safety and efficacy of distal protection devices and proximal protection devices during CAS. Statistical analysis was carried out with the programs SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Mann-Whitney test, x 2 test and Fisher’s exact test were used and the value of p = 0.05 was taken as a level of significance.
