Patient Selection for Carotid Stenting

Juhana Karha, Deepak L. Bhatt

Abstract

The goal in treating carotid artery atherosclerotic disease is to reduce the risk of stroke. Three therapeutic options for management of carotid disease exist: medical therapy, carotid artery stenting, and carotid endarterectomy. Clinical and anatomic characteristics of the individual patient dictate which of these options should be chosen. This chapter will review the indications and contraindications to carotid artery stenting.
