The characteristics of treated patients and arteries were compared between groups with and without flow arrest.<h4>Results</h4>The incidence of flow arrest during CAS with filter-type EPD was 17.4%. In flow arrest group, cases of vulnerable plaques (p=0.02) and symptomatic lesions (p=0.01) were significantly more common, and there were more cases of debris captured by EPD in a planar pattern (p<0.01). Vulnerable plaques were significantly Journal of cerebrovascular and endovascular neurosurgeryFlow arrest during carotid artery stenting with a distal embolic protection device: A single-center experience and clinical implications.PMC1122029304-2023-0022Hong NKim SBPark JMSon YJfalseFlow arrest during carotid artery stenting with a distal embolic protection device: A single-center experience and clinical implications.<h4>Objective</h4>We aimed to investigate the incidence of flow arrest during carotid artery stenting (CAS) with filter-type embolic protection device (EPD), identify any predisposing factors for those situations, and contemplate intraprocedural precautionary steps.<h4>Methods</h4>CAS was performed in 128 patients with 132 arteries using filter-type EPD.
