Use of dual-layered stents for carotid artery angioplasty. 1-Year results of a patient-based meta-analysis
Objectives: This study sought to evaluate 1-year safety and efficacy of dual-layered mesh-covered carotid stent systems (DLS) for carotid artery stenting (CAS). Background: Small clinical studies evaluating 1-year outcomes of CAS performed with 2 available DLS, Roadsaver (RS) (Terumo Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and CGuard (CG) (InspireMD, Boston, Massachusetts), have been published. Methods: The authors performed an individual patient–level meta-analysis including studies enrolling more than 100 CAS with DLS.
