Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient must be 40\~80 years of age
  • Patient with symptomatic carotid stenosis (defined as stroke/TIA of the patient within 90 days while he/she is taking at least one antithrombotic drug or under other intervention on vascular risk factors like hypertension or hyperlipidemia)
  • DSA shows percent carotid stenosis≥90% (quantification of the stenosis according to NASCET method); or near occlusion
  • Angiogram shows insufficient collateral circulation in the culprit vessel surrounding area:
  • Cerebral CT perfusion imaging shows hypo-perfusion of the culprit vessel surrounding area, and
  • DSA shows collateral circulation assessment \< 2, and
  • MRI cerebral imaging shows hemodynamic ischemic lesion
  • CT perfusion imaging shows cerebral blood flow of the culprit side is of 20% lower than the other lateral brain
  • Lesion length at the narrowest part \< 25mm
  • Note: Grading of angiographic collateral circulation
  • Grade 0: No collateral circulation in the area dominated by the culprit vessel
  • Grade 1: Slow collateral circulation in the surrounding areas, but filling defects exist
  • Grade 2: Fast collateral circulation, but some areas still have filling defects
  • Grade 3: Collateral circulation is slow, but complete filling can be seen in the vein at a late stage
  • Grade 4: Complete and fast collateral circulation, without any filling defect

Exclusion

  • Diffusive stenosis of the cerebral artery
  • MRI cerebral imaging shows perforating artery occlusion
  • Cerebral hemorrhage at the culprit vessel surrounding area within 6 weeks; potential thrombus from the heart
  • Subsequent cerebral tumor, cerebral aneurysm, or arteriovenous abnormality
  • Known contraindication to heparin, aspirin, ticlopidine, a aesthetic, and contrast; blood hemoglobin \< 10g/dl, blood platelet \< 100000
  • Severe nerve dysfunction in the culprit vessel surrounding area after a cerebral infarction (mRS≥3)
  • INR \> 1.5 (irreversible), uncorrectable bleeding risk factors, life expectancy \< 1 year
  • Women in pregnant or breast feeding
  • Committee adjudicating the inclusion criteria finds the patient is unsuitable for the staged angioplasty for carotid artery stenosis
  • Unsuccessful placement of proximal or distal EPD during the procedure
  • The target vessel angle≧45
  • Participate in other clinical trials within three months
