Abstract

Carotid artery stenosis is a prevalent and substantial cause of ischemic stroke; however, in patients who have significant symptomatic stenosis, carotid revascularization can lower their chances of having an ischemic stroke. Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) continues to remain the gold standard treatment modality for lowering the likelihood of carotid artery stenosis. Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an alternative to CEA. In the last few years, carotid stenting use has increased with improved clinical outcomes. This article discusses the technique of carotid stenting with a review of literature.
