PURPOSE: To compare neurologic outcome after elective internal carotid artery (ICA) stents have been placed in patients with and in patients without contralateral ICA obstructions.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 471 consecutive patients from a registry database who underwent elective ICA stent placement without cerebral protection for high-grade (greater than 70% stenosis of the ICA, according to the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial) symptomatic (n = 147) or asymptomatic (n = 324) ICA stenosis. Contralateral carotid arteries were investigated with angiography. Patients with and patients without contralateral high-grade stenosis (70%-99% stenosis, according to the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial) or occlusion were compared with respect to 30-day neurologic outcome by using the chi2 test and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
RESULTS: Neurologic events were observed in 33 patients (7%) with 15 transient ischemic attacks, eight minor strokes, and 10 major strokes that led to death in two patients (combined stroke and death rate, 4%). Eighty-eight patients (19%) with contralateral high-grade ICA stenosis and 43 patients (9%) with contralateral ICA occlusion exhibited a similar rate of postintervention combined neurologic events (n = 9, 7%) compared with patients without contralateral high-grade ICA stenosis or occlusion (n = 24, 7%) (P =.94). No differences were observed between symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. Combined stroke and death rates were also comparable between symptomatic (four of 131, 3%) and asymptomatic (14 of 340, 4%) patients (P =.59). Of all variables tested, multivariate analysis did not detect any predictor for peri- or postinterventional neurologic events.
CONCLUSION: Contralateral high-grade ICA stenosis or occlusion was not associated with an increased risk for neurologic events after elective ICA stent placement.
