    Description of Event or Problem · 1

    THIS EVENT WAS CAPTURED BASED ON LITERATURE REVIEW. THIS STUDY AIMS TO REVIEW RETROSPECTIVELY THE RECORDS OF PATIENTS TREATED WITH CAROTID ARTERY STENTING (CAS) TO INVESTIGATE THE POTENTIAL CORRELATIONS BETWEEN CLINICAL VARIABLES, DISTAL PROTECTION FILTER (DPF) TYPE AND CHARACTERISTICS, AND 30-DAY PERI-/POSTPROCEDURAL OUTCOMES. THIS IS A MULTICENTER, SINGLE-ARM, NONRANDOMIZED RETROSPECTIVE STUDY OF (B)(4) PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT FILTER-PROTECTED CAS BETWEEN (B)(4) 2000 AND (B)(4) 2011. ANALYSIS OF PERI-/POSTPROCEDURAL COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED: (B)(4). IT WAS NOTED THAT SYMPTOMATIC PATIENTS WHO UNDERWENT CAS WITH A CLOSED CELL STENT (ABBOTT VASCULAR XACT STENT WAS INCLUDED) HAVE A HIGHER RISK OF AE AND PERI-/POSTPROCEDURAL STROKE. THE ACCUNET AND EMBOSHIELD WERE AMONG THE SIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF FILTERS USED. THE ACCULINK STENT AND XACT STENT WERE AMONG THE STENT TYPES USED. NO ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED.
