Independent Modular Filter for Embolic Protection in Carotid Stenting [Peripheral Vascular Disease]

Conclusions— The data suggest that independent modular filter use in carotid artery stenting in high surgical risk patients is safe and effective. The outcomes suggest that use of an independent modular filter may be associated with a lower rate of embolic complications associated with carotid stent placement.
