<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To introduce the procedure of carotid stenting, and to summary experiences of 55 cases. To study the theory and clinical significance of carotid stenting for carotid artery stenosis.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Fifty-five patients with severe carotid atheromatous stenoses were treated by stent implantation. Fifty-eight stents were implanted. Forty-one of these stents were Wallstent, 14 were Smart stents and 3 were OptiMed stents. Cerebral protection device was furnished for 18 patients.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>During operation, there were 2 cases of small stroke and 2 cases of major stroke. One patient suffered from left eye area deficit, who had a little signs after 3 months. Another patient had consciousness loss and right-side paralysis and had a recovery in consciousness after salvage. The incidence of nervous system complications was 6.9%. Serious stroke rate was 3.5%. The incidence of circulatory system complications was 10.3%.
