Angioplasty and Stenting for Restenosis After Carotid Endarterectomy:Initial Experience
Stroke 27:2075-2079, Yadav,J.S.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Mean stenosis was reduced from 79+/-13%before the procedure to 1.8+/-3.6% after stenting.One patient had a minor stroke,for a complication rate of 4%per treated artery.In the eight patients who returned for 6-month angiography,mean stenosis was 19.4+/-4.4%and restenosis(>50%stenosis)did not occur.In a small series,angioplasty and stenting appeared to be a safe and well tolerated for the treatment of postendarterectomy restenosis.
