title: [Adaptation of different neuroprotection devices during carotid stenting procedures].
abstract: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is, apart from surgical endarterectomy, a common method of treatment of atherosclerosis in carotid arteries. Percutaneous angioplasty of carotid artery narrowings has been developing in recent years due to introduction of neuroprotection systems, which significantly reduced number of complications. Nowadays three neuroprotection systems are in common use: filters, temporary occlusion and aspiration systems and flow reversal systems. We present three cases of successful CAS with application of three different neuroprotection systems. We discuss indications, contraindications and limitations of every device.
