Carotid Artery Stenosis

Carotid artery stenting (CAS) as a viable therapy to treat carotid disease and stroke prevention is growing. One of the limitations of carotid stenting is the risk of liberating embolic particles during the procedure that could cause a stroke or compromise cognitive function.

The GORE Flow Reversal System is proof that if you want to move forward, sometimes it's best to go in reverse. This breakthrough technology minimizes the risk of emboli reaching the brain during the critical stages of the procedure by continually redirecting blood flow.

GORE ACUSEAL Cardiovascular Patch utilizes advanced fluoropolymer technology, enabling it to "seal" around penetrating suture and decrease suture line bleeding by as much as 88 percent*. This improvement, combined with improved suture retention, multi-directional strength and low thrombogenicity, sets the patch apart from other surgical biomaterials.
