Background : Carotid artery occlusive disease is estimated to be the primary cause in 20-
30 per cent of all strokes. This report was to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the treatment
of extracranial stenosis by carotid artery stenting.
Method: From June 1995 to December 2001, there were 13 patients with internal carotid
stenosis
~60
per cent who were eligible for carotid stenting.
Results : Twelve patients were male. The mean age was 68 years old. Fifty-four per cent
had neurological symptoms. The percentage of pre stenting stenosis was 86 เธ‘ 8 and the percentage
of post stenting stenosis was 18
เธ‘
15. There were 3 patients who had complications after the pro-
cedure (minor stroke= 2, severe bradycardia= 1). One patient died. There were no new or recurrent
neurological events during the 6 to 84 month-follow-up.
Conclusions : Carotid stent implantation may be an alternate treatment for extracranial
carotid stenosis.
