note = "Vincent V. Truong Alex Abou-Chebl Carotid artery stenosis is a major risk factor for stroke and transient ischemic attack. Although carotid endarterectomy is the established gold standard for carotid revascularization, carotid artery angioplasty and stenting (CAS)-proven by large randomized clinical trials and rigorous registries and supported by improving stent designs, embolic protection, and increasing neurointerventionalist experience-is developing into a safer and more efficacious method of stroke prevention.",
