Technical Complications Associated with Embolic Protection Device During Carotid Artery Stenting: Incidence, Risk Factors, Clinical Implications, and Rescue Maneuvers.

ABSTRACT: Background/Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors, clinical implications, and rescue maneuvers of technical complications related to embolic protection devices (EPDs) during carotid artery stenting (CAS). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all patients who had undergone CAS with EPDs between April 2018 and March 2024. The incidence and types of technical complication associated with EPDs were assessed. Clinical, angiographical, and procedural factors were analyzed to identify risk factors for the occurrence of EPD-related adverse events. Various rescue techniques for managing adverse events were investigated based on the procedure record. Results: Of the 158 enrolled patients, the rate of EPD-related technical complications
