Abstract
The use of stents for revascularization is becoming the standard of care in many vascular territories. One of the concerns with angioplasty and stenting of atherosclerotic lesions are thromboembolic complications. In the last few years a number of protection devices (PDs) have been developed. This report reviews the current status of PDs during carotid artery stenting.
