Abstract

Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a widely used procedure for patients with high-risk carotid stenosis, particularly in the Chinese population. However, there are no randomized trials examining the comparative efficacy and safety of different embolic protection devices (EPDs) used during CAS. This study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of two newer-generation EPDs, Spider FX™ and Emboshield NAV6™, using a comprehensive approach that includes intraoperative monitoring, postoperative imaging, and clinical outcomes. Given the specific focus on a Chinese population, caution should be applied when generalizing findings to other ethnic groups.
