Abstract

The highest rate of embolization during carotid artery stenting occurs during post-dilation. We evaluated the ability of the Paladin system (Contego Medical, Raleigh, NC), a novel PTA balloon with an integrated 40-ɥm pore filter, to collect microemboli that may pass into the cerebral circulation when used during post-dilation.
