Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The detection rate of new hyper-intense DWI lesion on the post-treatment compared to the pretreatment MRI imaging

    Day 1-3

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Ipsilateral stroke (ischaemic stroke, intracerebral bleeding or both, with symptoms lasting more than 24 h) or death between treatment and 30 days after treatment

    Day 30

  • Technical Success of the procedure

    Day 0

  • Access site vascular complications, defined as need for surgical repair or blood transfusion

    Day 0-7

Study Arms (2)

Procedure: Carotid Artery Stenting with Proximal Protection

Interventions

Carotid artery angioplasty and stenting with proximal embolic protection provided by the GORE Neuro Protection System

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Male and female ≥ 18 years old;
  • Suitable/Eligible for carotid artery revascularization;
  • Significant artery stenosis in symptomatic patients defined as ≥ 50% of the artery diameter (%DS) or asymptomatic ≥ 80 %DS by angiography. Symptomatic is defined as a carotid artery stenosis associated with ipsilateral transient ischemic attack (TIA), amaurosis fugax, ischemic stroke or retinal infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Adequate clinical conditions to perform DW-MRI.
  • Ability of the individual to understand the character and the consequences of clinical trial.
  • Signed and dated informed consent provided before the beginning of any intervention.
  • Negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) and contraception use for any woman of childbearing age. Systematic contraceptives (oral, implant, injection) and dia-phragm or condoms with spermicidal are considered reliable. Women who have undergone bilateral oophorectomy or/and hysterectomy or women status post-menopausal for at least two years are eligible for this trial.

You may not qualify if:

  • Intracranial hemorrhage, hemorrhagic stroke, or stroke with mass effect demonstrated on CT scan or MRI within 30 days of the index procedure.
  • Persisting ischemic stroke (defined as either a score \> 15 on the NIH stroke scale, a Rankin score \> 3 or a Barthel score \< 60 measured within one week prior to study entry).
  • Intracranial mass lesion (i.e., abscess, tumor, or other infection).
  • peripheral vascular, supra-aortic or internal carotid artery tortuosity precluding the use of catheter-based techniques required for successful results.
  • Lactation.
  • Arterio-venous malformation in the territory of the target carotid artery.
  • Any disease or medication that affects local hemostasis,
  • Participation in other clinical trials during the present clinical trial or within the last month.
  • Medical or psychological condition that would not permit completion of the trial or signing of informed consent.
