Angioplasty and Stenting of the Carotid and Supra-Aortic Trunks

What is apparent to peripheral vascular specialists is that carotid angioplasty and stenting offers benefits to some patients requiring therapy for carotid lesions in high risk circumstances such as recurrent carotid stenosis. The debate over whether carotid and angioplasty and stenting are superior to surgical carotid endarterectomy continues, though it has been shown through randomised clinical trials that intervention is superior to surgery. Angioplasty and Stenting of the Carotid and Supra-aortic Trunks addresses current controversies, as well as offering the reader guidance as to which techniques could be used. The pitfalls and complications encountered are presented alongside a variety of tips and tricks to ensure a good result.Henry, Michel is the author of 'Angioplasty and Stenting of the Carotid and Supra-Aortic Trunks' with ISBN 9781841842622 and ISBN 1841842621.
