Emergency carotid artery revascularization using Casper-RX stent: A single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Casper-RX (MicroVention, Aliso Viejo, California, USA) is a dual-layer closed cell stent recently introduced as a carotid artery revascularization device. Although its effectiveness and safety has been proved in elective cases, there are contradictive results regarding its patency in emergency settings. The purpose of the study is to present our single-center experience with the Casper-RX stent in the emergency interventions.

Patients and methods

Consecutive patients who underwent emergency carotid artery stenting using Casper-RX system with or without additional intracranial thrombectomy between August 2016 and June 2019 at our institution were included. Primary end point was the short-term patency of the carotid stents evaluated before hospital discharge by use
