Videos | Carotid stent flow reversal | Which Medical Device
This video shows carotid stenting using the Gore Neuroprotection system (NPS) which works by reversing the flow in the ICA being treated.
This is a 9F system and incorporates a sheath through which the carotid stenting procedure is performed. The 'Gore balloon sheath' has an elastomeric balloon mounted at the end. The 'Gore balloon wire' is a 0.014" guidewire with premounted elastomeric balloon for occluding the ipsilateral ECA.
Rather than using the central dilator with the Gore balloon sheath we preload the catheter with a 6.5F 125cm headhunter catheter (Cook shuttle Celect) and use a coaxial technique to engage the ipsilateral ICA.
The stent used is a 6-9mm Cristallo Ideale stent (Invatec).
