Abstract
Carotid angioplasty and stenting is an alternative to carotid endarterectomy in the treatment of carotid artery stenosis. During the stenting process, however, distal embolization usually occurs, and the particles released may cause neurologic problems or death. Thus, the safety of carotid stenting depends partly on the use of a cerebral protection device during the procedure.
