Abstract
A thorough understanding of the cerebrovascular anatomy is essential to help operators perform carotid stenting safely and successfully. A complete pre-procedural angiography to assess the great vessels and carotid arteries anatomy helps operators to strategize and select their equipment. We will review the cerebrovascular anatomy and the technical aspects of diagnostic carotid angiography.
