Challenge: Protect the brain from embolic particles released during carotid artery angioplasty and stenting

Choice: GORE Flow Reversal System

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. Physicians are looking for a better solution to achieve optimal neuroprotection while performing CAS procedures.

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. It’s a new direction both literally and figuratively – and takes carotid stenting to a place it has never been. One that more doctors and more patients will embrace. By minimizing risk and expanding the treatment options for broad patient populations, the GORE Flow Reversal System sets a new standard in carotid therapy.

The GORE Flow Reversal System makes the promise of carotid artery stenting possible.
