Key Points Complex arch anatomy (type 2, type 3) and bovine configuration were identified in 34.4% and 20.5% of carotid stent patients, respectively. Catheter manipulation time (CMT), rather than arch complexity per se, was the only independent predictor of adverse events after carotid stenting. Careful attention to patient selection, preprocedural planning, and stent technique are important to ensure success.
