Aortic & peripheral vascular disease
The PERFORMANCE II Trial: A Prospective Multicenter Investigation of a Novel Carotid Stent System
Authors' conclusion
The rate of major adverse events was extremely low, demonstrating the study system is a safe, effective, and durable treatment option for high-risk patients.
Study context
- Population
- Patients at elevated risk for adverse events from carotid endarterectomy, treated with a novel carotid stent system (stent, adjustable integrated embolic filter, postdilation balloon); US and Europe

- Outcome
- Composite of:
- Death
- All stroke and MI within 30 days of the procedure
- Plus ipsilateral stroke through 12 months
- Follow-up
- 12 months
