Tough Cases in Carotid Stenting (DVD Format)

Carotid angioplasty and stenting is currently being performed throughout the world for selected patients not suitable for carotid endarterectomy. Based on the basic principles of peripheral angioplasty, carotid stenting has evolved into a mature field of its own. Since the procedure is relatively new, formal training programs have not yet developed.

Tough Cases In Carotid Stenting is a unique way of teaching carotid stenting through the eyes of an expert and novice at the same time using a step-by-step case study approach. This study guide is an attempt to place you in the cath lab and into the mind of the expert and take you through cases, the successful ones and the failed ones, to help you understand the thought processes, pitfalls, and trouble shooting sequences.

While no study guide replaces the true ‘live’ handson experience, this study guide will help you navigate the many pitfalls that lay ahead.
