30-Day Outcomes of Real-World Elective Carotid Stenosis Treatment Using a Dual-Layer Micromesh Stent (ROADSAVER Study).

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Carotid artery stenting with single-layer stents carries a risk of periprocedural cerebral embolization compared to carotid endarterectomy. Dual-layer micromesh stents were designed for improved plaque coverage and sustained embolic protection. This analysis aimed to confirm the Roadsaver dual-layer micromesh stent safety in a real-world carotid artery stenting cohort.

Materials and methods

ROADSAVER was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, observational study. Patients with carotid artery stenosis, eligible for elective stenting, were enrolled at 52 sites across 13 European countries. All procedures followed standard practice. The primary outcome was the 30-day major adverse event rate, defined as the cumulative incidence of any death or stroke. All deaths, strok
