Among the several anatomic risk predictors for carotid stenting (e.g., extensive plaque ulceration, aneurysmal internal carotid artery, lesion length > 3 cm) , the aortic arch emerges as a key anatomic feature. Gaining access to the carotid...

In this issue of the journal, Koshy et al describe an assessment of different segments of the arterial tree by duplex. Importantly, a correlation with angiography was obtained in all cases.
