Carotid RX ACCULINK/RX ACCUNET postapproval trial to uncover unanticipated and rare events (CAPTURE 2)

Patients with carotid artery stenosis will be treated with the RX ACCULINK™ Carotid Stent System and the RX ACCUNET™ Embolic Protection System. An embolic protection system is a wire mesh basket designed to catch material (blood clots, fatty material) that could break off from the narrowed area of the blood vessel during the stent procedure. This postapproval study of these FDA-approved devices will collect data regarding medical experiences and conditions following treatment.

You may be eligible for this study if you have carotid artery stenosis and if a physician has told you that you need a carotid stent. Please contact Kerry Abdul-Ahad at (312) 942-8144 for more information. If you choose to respond via e-mail, please refer to the study title in your correspondence.
