Angioplasty of a carotid artery is carried out in case of considerable narrowing and obstruction of carotid arteries, after carrying out inspection and diagnosis.

For achievement of improvement of the remote result it is recommended to add operation with stenting, the most advanced and least traumatic way of treatment of stenoses of carotid arteries. The stent moves apart the narrowed walls of an artery and supports them in the straightened state constantly.
Stenting of carotid arteries demands use of the device for protection against distal embolization that guarantees against obstruction of small arteries of a brain particles of the crushed plaque in the course of stenting.
