One-Year Outcomes in CASES-PMS Support CAS With Embolic Protection
June 29, 2010—Theodore L. Schreiber, MD, et al have published 1-year outcomes from the CASES-PMS (Carotid Artery Stenting With Emboli Protection Surveillance-Postmarketing Study) trial in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (2010;56:49–57). CASES-PMS is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm, surveillance study of the Precise nitinol stent and Angioguard XP emboli capture guidewire (Cordis Corporation, Bridgewater, NJ). The study was designed to assess the safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) when performed by physicians with varied CAS experience utilizing a formal training program. The current investigation sought to determine if the excellent results achieved at 30 days would be sustained to 1 year.
