Delayed Improvement in Carotid Artery Diameter After Carotid Angioplasty
Stroke 28:574-579, Crawley,F.,et al, 1997
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Remodeling of the carotid artery after PTA has not been described before. Our results confirm that carotid angioplasty has an acceptable patency rate at 1 year.It has been suggested that endovascular treatment of carotid stenosis should include placement of a stent.Our results indicate that this may not be necessary unless the initial PTA result is a reduction in stenosis of<20%.
