Closed- cell vs open- cell stents for carotid artery stenting

Purpose - Carotid stent cell design has been suggested to have an impact on the
outcome of carotid artery stenting. Through the review of the international
references this hypothesis will be investigated and all the current data will
be analyzed. The neurologic adverse events and mortality will be recorded to
assess the outcome of the procedures.
Methods – All the references data were collected from the pubmed
(http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and the web search engine www.google.com.
Results – Ten retrospective studies and one randomized clinical trial came up
through the research. Closed-cell carotid stent design had a better outcome for
the symptomatic patients at three retrospective studies. The rest of the
restrospective studies and the unique randomized clinical trial did not show
statistical significant differences between closed-cell design vs open-cell
design.
Conclusions – According to the results neither closed-cell design nor open-
cell design showed clear superiority on the outcome of carotid artery stenting.
However, closed-cell design may have better results in a number of symptomatic
patients. The hypothesis of the superiority or not of one type of stent can be
proven scientifically only by large-scale, randomized clinical trials.
