Although carotid endarectomy (CEA) has long been considered the
gold standard technique, recent studies report that short- and
long-term results with carotid angioplasty and stenting(CAS) are
comparable to those with CEA in a significant number of cases.
Covering clinical assessment, techniques and devices, medical
treatment, and more, Angioplasty and Stenting of the Carotid and
Supra-Aortic Trunks reviews the state of the art in CAS.

The editors have drawn together a panel of experts to provide an
up-to-date snapshot that summarizes current, relevant knowledge
about endovascular interventional therapy for carotid disease. They
present a broad overview of approaches and techniques, a discussion
of protection devices and potential pitfalls, and coverage of
methods to reduce potential complications, select and enlarge
indications, and improve short- and long-term results. A report
from the leading edge of medical science, this resource supplies
the cutting-edge information you need to determine when it is
appropriate to use CAS.
