Abstract
Background and Purpose— Carotid stent cell design has recently been suggested to be a determinant of periprocedural and early postprocedural neurologic complications. We investigated the impact of closed- versus open-cell stent design on neurologic adverse events and mortality after carotid artery stenting. Methods— We studied 1684 consecutive patients (1010 asymptomatic, 674 symptomatic) from 10 European centers who underwent carotid artery stenting with either closed-cell (n=859, 51%) or open-cell (n=825, 49%) design stents. Rates of transient ischemic attack, stroke, and death on the day of the procedure (acute events) and from day 1 to day 30 after the procedure (subacute events) were analyzed (95% CIs). Results— Combined transient ischemic attack, stroke, or death rates, and stroke or death rates within 30 days of treatment were 6.1% (95% CI, 5.0 to 7.2) and 3.1% (95% CI, 2.3 to 3.9) for the closed-cell design versus 4.1% (95% CI, 3.2 to 5.0) and 2.4% (95% CI, 1.7 to 3.1) for the open-cell design ste...This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
