Abstract
BACKGROUND Bilateral carotid artery stenting (BCAS) is often performed in two stages (staged BCAS) but it is also an option to be performed in one stage (simultaneous BCAS). To confirm the safety of simultaneous BCAS, we retrospectively analyzed perioperative and postoperative course of simultaneous BCAS compared with staged BCAS. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with symptomatic stenosis of ≥50% or asymptomatic stenosis of ≥80% of bilateral carotid arteries underwent BCAS. Procedure time, symptomatic ischemic complications, presence/absence of high-intensity spots on postoperative diffusion-weighted image, duration of postoperative hospital stays and 30 days outcome of patients performed with simultaneous BCAS (group A, 8 patients with 16 stenotic lesions (8 procedures)) were compared with those of staged BCAS (group B, 4 patients with 8 stenotic lesions (8 procedures)). RESULTS In groups A and B, procedure time was 146.0 ± 53.8 and 103.5 ± 39.4 min; intraoperative hypotension was observed in 62.5% and 50.0%; postoperative hypotension occurred in 37.5% and 50.0%; diffusion-weighted image showed high-intensity spots in 37.5% and 12.5%; and duration of postoperative hospital stays was 5.1 ± 1.8 and 5.3 ± 2.3 days. No patients suffered symptomatic ischemic complications. In simultaneous BCAS, there was a tendency that procedure time was longer and high-intensity spots on postoperative diffusion-weighted image was more frequent, but there was no increase in symptomatic ischemic complications and duration of hospital stays compared to staged BCAS. CONCLUSIONS Safety of simultaneous BCAS may not be inferior to staged BCAS. In terms of duration of hospital stays, simultaneous BCAS can be superior to staged BCAS for patients with bilateral carotid artery stenosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although staged procedures to treat bilateral carotid artery stenosis are mainstream, a growing number of articles on simultaneous bilateral carotid artery stenting (SBCAS) have been published. Thus, this meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SBCAS. METHODS The PubMed and Embase databases were searched to identify all studies reporting SBCAS from January 1, 2000, to October 1, 2017. Patients' characteristics, comorbidities, technical success, deaths, and complications were collected and analyzed. Forest plots were drawn with either a random-effects model or fixed-effects model according to their heterogeneities. Publication biases were tested by funnel plots and linear regression test. RESULTS Overall, 333 patients with bilateral carotid stenosis in 10 retrospective studies were enrolled in this meta-analysis. The mean age was 67.4 years; 75% of the patients were male, and 85.6% of them were symptomatic. The mean severity of stenosis was 82.1%. The overall technical success rate reached 99.38% (95% confidence interval [CI], 96.58%-100.00%). The pooled incidences of periprocedural complications were as follows: hemodynamic depression, 46.12% (95% CI, 33.16%-59.35%); hyperperfusion syndrome, 3.33% (95% CI, 1.66%-5.55%); stroke, 3.20% (95% CI, 1.59%-5.36%); myocardial infarction (MI), 0.60% (95% CI, 0.00%-1.43%); and death, 1.20% (95% CI, 0.03%-2.38%). The occurrence of a periprocedural primary end point, defined as a combination of any stroke, MI, and death, affected 4.28% (95% CI, 2.37%-6.71%) of patients. For long-term patency, there were too few follow-up results available to evaluate. CONCLUSIONS Except for hyperperfusion syndrome, all other periprocedural complications including hemodynamic depression, stroke, and MI were comparable with the literature reporting unilateral carotid artery stenting. However, the analysis was based on retrospective studies. Further studies, including prospective and randomized controlled studies, are needed to confirm these results.

Abstract
Background This retrospective clinical investigation aimed to evaluate the short-term effectiveness and safety of SBCAS for symptomatic bilateral high-grade CS. Material/Methods From 2009 to 2014, 145 patients were recruited. Among them, 70 underwent SBCAS, and other 75 patients underwent SAMM and served as controls. The immediate postprocedural complications and postprocedural neurological evaluation, as well as restenosis at 6-month and 1-year follow-ups in the SBCAS group are reported. Additionally, baseline risk factors for ischemic stroke, adverse effects of drugs, and outcomes at 30-day, 6-month, and 1-year follow-ups were compared between the 2 groups. Results Our data did not reveal significant differences between the 2 groups in baseline risk factors for ischemic stroke. In the SBCAS group, both HPS (5.7%) and HD (40%) occurred, but they were not very severe, and no patients had postprocedural neurological deficit. Moreover, restenosis only occurred in 3 patients at 3 stent placement sites (4.3%) at 1-year follow-up. Adverse effects of drugs did not occur in SBCAS group, but adverse effects of Bayer aspirin and Lipitor occurred in 4 patients (5.4%) and 18 patients (24.3%), respectively, at 6-month follow-up in the control group. Furthermore, there were significant differences in outcomes between the 2 groups at 30-day, 6-month, and 1-year follow-ups, in that NIHSS, CS ratio, and incidence of endpoint events, as well as 1-year cumulative probability of endpoint events, were all lower in the SBCAS group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusions Compared to SAMM, we found that SBCAS was more effective and safer for symptomatic bilateral high-grade CS.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate clinical outcomes of simultaneous bilateral carotid artery stenting (sbCAS) compared with unilateral CAS (uCAS). METHODS The database in our institution was queried to identify all patients treated with CAS from January 2005 to December 2012. In this time frame, 120 (18.8%) patients (mean age 64.9 ± 7.7 years; 96 men) underwent sbCAS and 517 (81.2%) patients (mean age 65.7 ± 7.7 years; 421 men) received uCAS. The primary endpoint was the composite of stroke, myocardial infarction, or death within 30 days or any ipsilateral stroke within 1 year. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the rates of the primary endpoint between the sbCAS and uCAS groups (6.7% vs 4.6%, p=0.358). The rates of the primary endpoint among symptomatic patients was 8.0% in the sbCAS group and 5.0% in the uCAS group (p=0.299) and 3.1% and 4.0%, respectively (p=0.821) among asymptomatic patients. During the 30-day periprocedural period, the rates of the primary endpoint did not differ significantly between the sbCAS and uCAS groups among all patients (5.8% vs 4.4%, p=0.479), symptomatic patients (6.8% vs 5.0%, p=0.594), or asymptomatic patients (3.1% vs 3.5%, p>0.999). After this period, the incidences of any ipsilateral stroke were similarly low (0.8% and 0.2%, respectively; p=0.342). CONCLUSION The study showed that simultaneous bilateral CAS had no more adverse events than unilateral CAS during the periprocedural period or within 1 year. This 1-stage strategy may become a valuable alternative in the treatment of patients with severe bilateral carotid stenosis.

Abstract
SUMMARY Endovascular stenting is a consolidated alternative to thrombendarterectomy in the treatment of extracranial carotid artery atheromasic stenosis. The most common complication of stenting is a distal embolism causing clinically silent orsymptomatic cerebral ischaemia. To prevent this complication distal embolism protection devices are often used but their effectiveness remains unsettled. In addition, there is some evidence that distal embolism may actually be triggered by the protection systems due to clot formationat their distal surface or in the intimal lesions these systems cause. Another rarer complicationis hyperperfusion syndrome arising during both stenting and thrombendarterectomy but more common in endovascular procedures. To avoid these complications the Neuroradiology Service at Bellaria Hospital (Bologna Local Health Trust) has devised a mini-invasive carotid stenting technique that does not require either distal embolism protection or angioplasty. The technique uses only the radial force exerted by the self-expanding stent to widen the atherosclerotic stenosis slowly and gradually. The goal of treatment has also changed from a prompt restoration of the atheromasic vessel's original calibre to slow transformation of the hemodynamic significance of the stenosis. The technique's success lies mainly in selecting the stenosis to treat using CT angiography to analyse plaque morphology and structure.We used the technique to treat 83 stenotic lesions in 75 patients. The study aims to describe and discussour experience.
