RESUMO
Patients with symptomatic > or = 60% (n = 134), asymptomatic > or = 80% (n = 143), and asymptomatic progressive > or = 60% (n = 25) internal carotid artery stenosis underwent stenting and were followed clinically and by Doppler-assisted duplex imaging for 27.1 +/- 15.6 months. Stroke and death from stroke occurred within 30 days after stenting in 4.7% of the symptomatic and in 3.0% of the asymptomatic patients and in the follow-up period in 2.3% of the symptomatic and in 1.2% of the asymptomatic patients.
