| Abstract | AIM: To evaluate technical success, complications and the influence of the learning curve on outcome in carotid artery stenting (CAS) performed in patients not suitable for surgery. PATIENTS AND METHODS: One hundred and nine procedures of protected carotid stenting in 103 high risk patients were performed. All patients presented at least one factor that potentially increased the surgical risk of carotid endoarterectomy (CEA), according to SAPPHIRE criteria. Neurologic complications were quantified by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and were evaluated by median Rankin Scale (mRS). To evaluate the influence of experience of the operator to perform CAS, we retrospectively analyzed periprocedural and neurological complications of the first 50 procedures compared with that of the following 59 interventions. RESULTS: Technical success rate was 98%. Neurological periprocedural complications were revealed in 4.5% of patients. In-hospital and 30-days neurological complications rate was 7.6 and 2.6% respectively. Periprocedural neurological complications rate was lower in the last procedures performed, according to a higher confidence of the operators. CONCLUSIONS: CAS may be performed as an alternative of CEA for the treatment of severe carotid obstructive disease in patients not suitable for surgery. The learning curve positively influence complications rate. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
