Carotid artery stenting: the basics : how to set up and maintain a cath lab

Over the past three decades, carotid artery stenting has evolved to become a promising and viable alternative to carotid endarterectomy, especially for patients deemed to have high surgical risks. In Carotid Artery Stenting: The Basics, Jacqueline Saw and a panel of international experts on carotid artery stenting discuss in depth the details of all contemporary aspects of carotid stenting, while reviewing supporting studies, guidelines, technical perspectives, and peri-procedural management. This textbook serves as a learning resource on the multifaceted management of patients with carotid artery stenosis, with thekey focus on extracranial carotid artery stenting. Additional sections detailthe specifics of setting up and maintaining a laboratory and discuss the preparation of the carotid artery stenting procedure from both the patient and operator’s perspective. Provides a detailed approach to laboratory set-up and maintenance Presents a thorough and practical guide to carotid artery stenting meant to coach junior and senior interventionalists through the complex procedure Surveys all the necessary indications, imaging, approaches, techniques, and complications of carotid artery stenting INDICE: Carotid artery stenosis prevalence and medical therapy.- Carotid revascularization: Carotid Endarterectomy.- Carotid Stenting Registries and Randomized Trials.- Catheterization Laboratory: X-ray Equipment, Radiation Safety, Imaging Modalities and Programs.- Non-invasive Imaging Modality: Carotid Ultrasound, CT and MR Angiography.- Pre-procedural Patient Preparation: baseline neurologic examination, medications, antiplatelet therapy, and anticoagulation.- Patient Selection: Current indications for carotid stenting.- Operator Training and Accreditation.- Vascular access: Femoral, radial, brachial, and direct carotid approach.- Aortic arch angiography & Four-vessel cerebrovascularangiography.- Extracranial Carotid Stent Interventional Approach.- Carotid Stenting Equipment Review.- Acute Stroke Neurorescue.- Complications related to carotid stenting.- Post-procedural Monitoring and Follow-up.
