Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting (CAS) is a new approach to treat a
carotid stenosis. This new book provides interventional cardiologists,
both as beginners or fully experienced, with a reference on all aspects
of angioplasty and stenting of the carotid and supra-aortic trunks.
Focusing on both the entire range of angioplasty and stenting treatment
options for the surgeon treating patients on the operating table, and
the range of radiological techniques used for the cardiologist to
diagnose carotid artery stenosis (CAS) and associated conditions, this
important book describes the best indications, the different techniques,
the results, and also the limitations of CAS based on randomized studies
and particularly the last published data (CREST study).
Suitable for both novice and experienced interventionalists, it also
addresses diagnosis of a carotid stenosis and complications from CAS and
how to manage them.
