As a vascular surgeon I am very experienced with CEA.
From my perspective the near future will show a
shift towards carotid stenting because of mesh
covered stents.
The CGuard™, in comparison to other [carotid]
stents, even in comparison to other mesh covered
stents, is a very easy to use device.. When I use other
mesh covered stent grafts I need very complicated
measurements..... With CGuard TM ...very simple, you take it
off the shelf and you use it and that's it.
Patient risks associated with stenting using CGuard™ are
far lower than those associated with CEA or with other types
of carotid stents. CGuard™ will become a major
factor in preventing strokes caused by carotid
artery disease.
With CGuard™
we can get excellent
results...probably better than open surgery ... the
Gold Standard "
