Abstract

Carotid angioplasty and stenting represent a good choice and alternative for patients with significant hemodynamic carotid stenosis in secondary prevention of stroke, in experienced centers, and supervised by a team made of neurologist, interventional neuroradiologist, and vascular surgeon. Our results encouraged us to continue this endovascular technique to reduce the incidence of recurrent stroke and mortality, with careful selection of patients.

The frequent use in specialized facilities, all over the world, of endovascular procedures and the results of the clinical studies led to medical guidelines for carotid angioplasty and stenting with the level and class of evidence better in the past years.
