Abstract Carotid artery stenting has become a viable alternative to carotid endarterectomy in the management of carotid stenosis. Over the past 20 years, many trials have attempted to compare both treatment modalities and establish the indications for each one, depending on clinical and anatomic features presented by patients. Concurrently, carotid stenting techniques and devices have evolved and made endovascular management of carotid stenosis safe and effective. Among the most important innovations are devices for distal and proximal embolic protection and new stent designs. This paper reviews these advances in the endovascular management of carotid artery stenosis within the context of the historical background.

Our statement that in patients with transient brain ischaemia carotid endarterectomy reduces the risk of a subsequent stroke from 28% to 3% (based on the report by Wylie & Ehrenfeld, 1970) should have been qualified. We should have referred also to the study by W. S. Fields et al. (J. Amer. med. Ass. 1970, 211, 1993), in which 4% of the surgically treated patients with unilateral carotid stenosis and 12% of the controls had a stroke during the follow-up period of, on average, 3½ years. These results are based on a small total number of strokes and remain inconclusive. The paper by Whisnant was cited in error. The conclusion of our article is not affected.
