Massive Cerebral Microemboli after Protected Carotid Artery Angioplasty and Stenting Using a Distal Filter Embolic Protection Device for a Vulnerable Plaque with a Lipid Rich Necrotic Core and Intraplaque Hemorrhage: A Case Report
A major concern associated with carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is a periprocedural distal cerebral embolization. To prevent distal embolization, embolic protection devices (EPDs) have been developed. However, the risk of cerebral embolism after protected CAS in patents with a vulne...
