Abstract
Of all peripheral vascular interventions, carotid artery stenting (CAS) remains the procedure with the steepest learning curve and the lowest margin for error. The procedure demands a meticulous approach, advanced catheter and guidewire skills, an excellent appreciation of neuroanatomy, and the ability to manage dynamic fluctuations in hemo-dynamic status. Of perhaps greater importance is the decision-making and judgment necessary for appropriate patient selection.
