Which embolic protection device is ideal during carotid artery stenting?

Nachiket J Patel et al. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. .

Abstract

Embolic stroke is one of the main risks of carotid artery stenting. The EMBOLDEN trial demonstrates the safety and efficacy of the Gore® embolic filter. There is no clear evidence for the benefit of one filter-type over another. It is important to choose the device with which the interventionalist has significant familiarity.
