Purpose
In Slovenia we have already started the National Carotid Angioplasty Study. Since the carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) is a new procedure, it is essential to establish the clinical outcome before its introduction widely into the clinical practice. In the present study the clinical impairement and the efficacy of the CAS in the symptomatic patients with the severe carotid stenosis (>70%) were evaluated.
