Carotid artery stenting: rationale, indications, and results

G New et al. Compr Ther. 1999 Aug-Oct.

Carotid stenting is a percutaneous, minimally invasive treatment for carotid stenosis. It does not carry the surgical risks of carotid endarterectomy and therefore can be applied to the elderly and to patients with comorbidities. Complications and late events appear low.
