Carotid artery stenting using a 7 French Optimo balloon guide catheter combined with a distal filter.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
ObjectivesCarotid artery stenting (CAS) by proximal occlusion of the common carotid artery (CCA) using a balloon guide catheter (BGC) is a simple proximal protection method to prevent distal embolism, however, it requires at least an 8 French (F) system. A 7 F Optimo BGC is the smallest BGC with an inner lumen diameter of 0.071 inches, and which permits the passage of a 5 F carotid stent. We retrospectively investigated the clinical results and the safety of CAS by using a 7 F Optimo BGC combined with a distal filter.Materials and MethodsOne-hundred carotid arterial stenosis patients were treated with CAS using combined protection of a 7 F Optimo BGC and a distal filter. The BGC was navigated from the femoral and radial arteries in 85 and 15 patients, respectively.ResultsThe 7 F Optimo BGC was successfully navigated into the CCA in all patients, and the technical success rate of CAS was 100%. Major adverse events of any death, stroke, or myocardial infarction within 30-day after the procedure were observed in one (1%). Post-procedural diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging revealed high signals in 21% of the patients, all of whom were asymptomatic.ConclusionsThe 7 F Optimo is the smallest BGC to achieve CAS using a proximal protection system. The combined use of a 7 F Optimo BGC and a distal filter is effective for navigating the BGC and distal embolic protection.
