Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study is to assess the outcomes of stenting with distal protection in the treatment of obstructive carotid artery disease. The devices to be utilized are the Cordis PRECISE® Nitinol Stent Systems (5.5F and 6F) and the Cordis ANGIOGUARD™ XP Emboli Capture Guidewire (ECGW).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Any death, stroke or any MI
up to 30-days post-procedure
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Assess the consistency of MAE rates of stenting with distal protection in the treatment of obstructive carotid artery disease among high, medium and low volume centers with physicians who have validated CASES training levels of 1, 2, 2P or 3
30 days
Assess the real-world cost-effectiveness of carotid artery stenting in subjects enrolled
Every follow-up where a PRO instrument QoL was assessed
Estimate MAE (death and ipsilateral stroke) rate in a subset of the planned total enrollment
1 year
Eligibility Criteria
Study population will consist of high-surgical risk patients with atherosclerotic disease of the carotid artery(ies) from up to 350 clinical sites in the US and Canada.
You may qualify if:
- High-surgical risk patients to be treated consistent with IFU labeling
- The patient or legally authorized representative has signed a written informed consent and HIPAA authorization, prior to the procedure, using a form that is approved by the Institutional Review Board or Medical Ethics Committee.
You may not qualify if:
- Patients not treated per the IFU
- Patients who are contraindicated per the IFU
- Patients previously enrolled in the study
- Patients requiring stenting of in-stent restenosis after CAS
- Inability or refusal to provide informed consent.
