Another Delayed Migration of an Enterprise Stent

Kelly et al[1][1] reported the first published case of a patient with delayed migration of an Enterprise stent (Cordis, Miami Lakes, Fla) used for assistance in endovascular coil embolization of a basilar apex aneurysm. The stent was placed, extending from the midbasilar artery to the P1 segment of

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Protected Carotid Artery Stent Placement versus Endarterectomy in High-Risk Patients

Purpose: To determine the cost-effectiveness of carotid angioplasty with stent placement (CAS) under emboli protection versus carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with severe carotid stenosis considered to be at high surgical risk for CEA. Methods: The probabilities of various outcomes were adopted from the SAPPHIRE trial results. The quality-adjusted life year (QALYs) associated with each treatment modality were estimated by using the frequencies of various quality-adjusted outcomes (QALY weights of ipsilateral stroke, myocardial infarction, and death). Total cost associated with each intervention was computed using the frequency of stroke, myocardial infarction, and death in each group. Costs are expressed in 2006 US
