Abstract :Aim: This study aimed to present the results of carotid artery stenting insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CAS); in the treatment of patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Cs);. Material and Method: Between September 2016 and June 2021, patients who underwent CAS in the interventional radiology department were reviewed, retrospectively. The demographic data of patients, comorbidities, carotid stenosis rates, and early and late complication rates after treatment were recorded from medical records. Acute stent thrombosis, stroke, and death in the first 30 days after CAS were considered early periprocedural complications. Doppler ultrasonography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(USG); examinations were scanned at 6 months after the procedure and restenosis rates were investigated. Results: There were a total of 113 patients; 31.2% female and 68.8% male. Symptomatic Cs was present in 62.8% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=71); and asymptomatic Cs in 37.2% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=42); of the patients. The technical success rate was determined as 98.2%. Micro-thromboembolism insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=4);, pseudoaneurysm at the femoral insertion site insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=2);, and acute stent thrombosis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=1); were observed as early complications. Restenosis was detected 6 months after stenting in 1 patient insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1.4%); with symptomatic Cs on Doppler USG. The mortality rate was 0.8% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=1);. Conclusion: CAS is an effective and safe treatment method in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with Cs.
