Live & Recorded Cases during the Carotid Revascularization Symposium
1/Left Internal Carotid Artery stenting in a 64 years old woman with a right internal carotid artery occlusion
Main learning objectives:
- Difficult access
- Selection of protection device
2/Left Common Carotid artery stenting of a post-radiotheray stenosis in a 47 years old man with a stenosed right carotid artery bypass graft
Main learning objectives:
- Strategy in case of bilateral carotid artery involvement
- Common carotid artery stenting: protection, choice of stent
- Access choice and timing of intervention after iliac artery stenting
3/Left Internal Carotid Artery stenting in a 84 years old patient
Main learning objectives:
- Indications of carotid artery stenting in asymptomatic patients
- Access choice in old patients
- Protection and choice of the stent in very calcified and complex lesions
4/Right Internal Carotid Artery stenting in a symptomatic 75 years patient with a recent contralateral stenting
Main learning objectives:
- Indications of carotid artery stenting before CABG
- Staging in case of bilateral stenting
- Carotid protection especially by flow reversal during CAS
5/Left Internal Carotid Artery stenting in a 70 years old patient with a contralateral carotid artery chronic occlusion
Main learning objectives:
- Indications of CAS in case of contralateral carotid occlusion
- Concerns around hypotension and hypertension during and immediately after CAS
