Stent patency after carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) correlates not only with stroke prevention but also with improvements in cognition and quality of life by positively influencing cerebral perfusion. The long-term outcomes of CAS after more than 5 years have still not been well described. This retrospective study was designed to evaluate the stent patency and significant restenosis (SR) after CAS with more than 5 years of follow-up.
