Abstract
Introduction: Prevention of distal embolization during carotid artery stenting (CAS) is a key element of procedural technique and is standardly performed using distal protection devices (DPDs). Data in support of DPDs, however, are limited. Here, we present our experience of proximal occlusion using a balloon guide catheter (BGC) during CAS as the primary method of distal embolic protection. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients undergoing CAS at our healthcare system between January of 2018 to March of 2021. Procedures were categorized by embolic protection strategy: DPD or BGC (with or without DPD). Emergent cases were defined as patients receiving CAS within
