| Abstract |
Objective
The purpose of this study is to report authors’ clinical experience of carotid stenting in octogenarians with symptomatic carotid
stenoses.
Methods
From January 2001 to December 2010, 14 consecutive octogenarian patients underwent carotid stenting to treat symptomatic carotid
stenoses. Anatomic results at follow-up, procedure-related complications, and morbidity and mortality were retrospectively reviewed.
Results
Stenting procedures were successful in all cases. No mortality was observed. Procedure-related neurologic morbidity was observed
in one patient with unprotected carotid stenting. Procedure-related neurologic morbidity rate was 7% (1/14).
Conclusion
Carotid stenting in symptomatic octogenarians is a safe and effective treatment option. It is desirable to use a protective device
to reduce procedure-related morbidity/mortality. More clinical experience is mandatory. |
