TCT-74 Proximal Balloon Occlusion versus Distal Filter Protection in Carotid Artery Stenting: A Meta-Analysis of Clinical Trial Data

Carotid stenting (CAS) is typically performed using embolic protection devices (EPDs) as a means to reduce procedure-related stroke. In this study, we compared procedural complications, morbidity and mortality across two different strategies: distal (D-EPD) and proximal (P-EPD) protection. MEDLINE
