This text investigates the clinical viability and procedural application of carotid angioplasty and stenting (CAS) as a modern alternative to traditional carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Henry Michel provides a comprehensive overview of the shifting landscape in vascular intervention, drawing upon recent clinical studies to compare the efficacy and long-term outcomes of endovascular techniques against established surgical standards. The book serves as a technical framework for clinicians evaluating patient candidacy and procedural selection in the treatment of supra-aortic trunk disease.

Medical professionals identify this work as a practical resource for understanding the transition toward less invasive vascular procedures. Experts highlight the text for its balanced approach to technical methodology and clinical evidence-based practice.
