Hot Chili & White Pepper: All you need to know about carotid stenting
Carotid artery stenting is a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat carotid artery stenosis and reduce the risk of stroke by placing a stent within the affected vessel. It is most often indicated for high-risk patients who are not suitable candidates for carotid endarterectomy. This comprehensive webinar will cover essential topics, including up-to-date guidelines for patient selection and clinical indications, expert technical strategies from vascular access to stent deployment and closure, optimal anticoagulation management in both elective and acute settings, and the handling of complex and challenging clinical cases.
Learning objectives
- To be aware of current guidelines and their limitations
- To rate the potential impact of stent design difference
- To know different medication regimes based on clinical settings
- To identify typical challenges during CAS
