Limited data are available about the long-term outcomes of the use of carotid artery stents in symptomatic patients and the impact of patient variables on the durability of endovascular carotid procedures. Outcome data previously reported from registry series mix symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. We present analysis of long-term follow-up, with independent neurological assessment, for patients with symptomatic high-grade carotid lesions undergoing stenting to identify patients at risk of recurrence.
