Abstract

Methods of cerebral embolic protection during carotid artery stenting focusing on the newest method, proximal occlusion, are discussed in this manuscript. Proximal occlusion devices achieve cerebral protection through flow reversal from the internal carotid artery into the arterial guide sheath that is the conduit for the deployment of devices across the carotid bifurcation. We review the literature and draw upon our experience-based opinion.
