Carotid plaque surface irregularity predicts cerebral embolism during carotid artery stenting.

Abstract

Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is associated with the risk of periprocedural embolic events. The procedural risk may vary with plaque characteristics. We aimed at determining the impact of carotid plaque surface irregularity on the risk of cerebral embolism during CAS.
