Immediate and Late Clinical Outcomes of Carotid Artery Stenting in Patients With Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Carotid Artery Stenosis : A 5-Year Prospective Analysis
Roubin GS  || Kuntz RE
Circulation 2001 103: 532 - 537
http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/103/4/532 
Experience from a single group of operators demonstrates that carotid stenting can be performed with an acceptable 30-day complication rate (0.6% (n=3) fatal stroke and 1% (n=5) nonstroke death; major stroke 1% (n=6), minor stroke 4.8% (n=29). The overall 30-day stroke and death rate was 7.4% (n=43)). Late follow-up also demonstrates a low rate of fatal and nonfatal stroke. These results suggest that carotid stenting may be comparable to carotid endarterectomy, and it underscores the clinical equipoise and premise for the NIH–supported, randomized Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy Versus Stent Trial (CREST) comparing carotid stenting with carotid endarterectomy.

Endovascular versus surgical treatment in patients with carotid stenosis in the Carotid and Vertebral Artery Transluminal Angioplasty Study (CAVATAS): a randomised trial
Lancet 2001;357:1729-37
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&dopt=Citation&list_uids=11403808
Endovascular treatment had similar major risks and effectiveness at prevention of stroke during 3 years compared with carotid surgery, but with wide CIs. Endovascular treatment had the advantage of avoiding minor complications. Dr. Martin Brown, from University College, London, and colleagues from the CAVATAS trial randomly assigned 504 patients with carotid stenosis to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting, or to endarterectomy.
With slides:  http://www.theheart.org/index.cfm?doc_id=23447
A comparison of carotid angioplasty and stenting to carotid endarterectomy shows similar outcomes but fewer complications with angioplasty. Were angioplasty results better than expected or surgical results worse?

Carotid artery surgery for people with existing coronary artery disease 
Ian Lane and John Byrne 
Heart 2002;87 86-90 
http://www.heartjnl.com/cgi/content/full/87/1/86 
Patients requiring coronary revascularisation with symptomatic carotid disease that fulfil the indications for surgery should undergo carotid endarterectomy. In the absence of randomised trials, asymptomatic patients should be managed recognising the high stroke risk associated with carotid stenosis of over 80% and carotid occlusion. There is a need for randomised trials to clarify the need for carotid endarterectomy at the time of coronary artery surgery.

Safety and efficacy of elective carotid artery stenting in high-risk patients
  Shawl F et al.
  J Am Coll Cardiol 2000;35:1721-8
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010841217
Carotid artery stenting is feasible, can be performed even in high-risk patients and is associated with a low restenosis rate.

Global experience in cervical carotid artery stent placement
  Wholey MH et al.
  Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2000;50:160-7
  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0010842380
The total number of endovascular carotid stent procedures that have been performed worldwide to date included 5,210 procedures involving 4,757 patients. There was a technical success of 98.4% with 5,129 carotid arteries treated. Complications that occurred during the carotid stent placement or within a 30-day period following placement were recorded. Overall, there were 134 transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) for a rate of 2.82%. Based on the total patient population, there were 129 minor strokes with a rate of occurrence of 2.72%. The total number of major strokes was 71 for a rate of 1.49%. There were 41 deaths within a 30- day postprocedure period resulting in a mortality rate of 0.86%. The combined minor and major strokes and procedure-related death rate was 5.07%. Restenosis rates of carotid stenting have been 1.99% and 3.46% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. The rate of neurologic events after stent placement has been 1.42% at 6-12-month follow-up.

Stent angioplasty for cervical carotid artery stenosis in high-risk symptomatic NASCET-ineligible patients

  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/htbin-post/Entrez/query?db=m&form=6&dopt=r&uid=0011108767 
The clinical results and sustained freedom from symptoms and stroke during the short available follow-up period suggest that stent angioplasty may be useful in the treatment of symptomatic cervical carotid stenosis in high-risk patients despite a notable incidence of restenosis.
