説明

<p>Carotid artery stenting (CAS) has recently emerged as a potential alternative to carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in Japan. However, one of its disadvantages is the higher incidence of ischemic complications than CEA, such as distal embolism during or after the procedure. Plaque protrusion (PP) through the stent strut after deployment of the stent has been suggested as one of the major causes of distal embolism, especially in patients with unstable plaques. The need for increased plaque coverage to reduce the risk of PP through the stent struts has led to the development of a double-layer micromesh stent (micromesh stent) system. This stent system has already been used clinically in European countries with good short- to medium-term follow-up results. Also clinical trials evaluating micromesh stents have been completed in Japan. Hence, usefulness of the micromesh stent for CAS is expected. According to the results of several clinical studies, CAS with the double-layer micromesh stent has the potential to minimize distal embolism during or after the procedure even in patients with unstable plaques. However, it may not be suitable for emergency CAS at this point. Also, since results of only short- to medium-term follow-up have been reported, longer-term follow-up will be required in the near future.</p>
