CAROTID ARTERY STENTING WITH EMBOLI PROTECTION PMA # P030047 Cordis Presentation Sidney A. Cohen, M.D., Ph.D. Group Director, Clinical Research
REQUESTED INDICATION • The Cordis [Carotid Stent System is] indicated for use in the treatment of carotid artery disease in high-risk patients. High-risk is defined as patients with neurological symptoms (one or more TIA’s or one or more completed strokes) and >50% atherosclerotic stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or angiogram; and • Patients without neurological symptoms and >80% atherosclerotic stenosis of the common or internal carotid artery by ultrasound or angiogram. • Symptomatic and asymptomatic patients must also have one or more condition(s) that place them at high-risk for carotid endarterectomy.
