ABSTRACT

Carotid artery stenosis is one of the main causes of ischemic stroke. Carotid artery stenting has gradually become a mainstream treatment approach of carotid stenosis, and the in-stent restenosis is its most common late complications, which restricts the development of carotid artery stenting. This article reviews the epidemiology, imaging evaluation, pathophysiological mechanism, and prevention and treatment measures of carotid in-stent restenosis.
