The timing of carotid artery stenting (CAS) after a cerebral watershed infarction (CWI) is not yet codified. In this retrospective study, we analyzed the safety and clinical effect of early CAS for CWI patients due to carotid artery stenosis. <b><i>Methods:<\/i><\/b> Between March 2011 and April 2014, 120 CWI patients with ipsilateral carotid artery stenosis were recruited. Of these 120 patients, 63 received CAS within 7 days of the symptom onset (group 1) and 57 received standard medical treatment at the symptom onset (group 2). Periprocedural complications were analyzed in group 1 to evaluate the safety of early CAS. Clinical effects were analyzed by evaluating National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score as well as modified Ranking Scale (mRS) score of pre- and post-treatment in 2 groups. <b><i>Results:<\/i><\/b> There was no significant difference in pre-treatment NIHSS score between the 2 groups (8.52 \u00b1 2.46 and 7.84 \u00b1 2.64, p = 0.15). However, group 1 had lower post-treatment NIHSS score as compared to group 2 (3.03 \u00b1 1.44 and 3.84 \u00b1 1.73, p = 0.006). In both groups, NIHSS score after treatment was significantly reduced (p < 0.05). Treatment effect in group 1 was larger compared to group 2 (-5.49 \u00b1 2.12 and -4.00 \u00b1 1.98, p < 0.05). Before the treatment, both groups had similar patient numbers with mRS score \u22642; however, after 30 days of surgery, group 1 had more number of patients with mRS score \u22642 than group 2. <b><i>Conclusion:<\/i><\/b> This study suggested that early CAS for CWI can be performed without significant risk. More importantly, early CAS for CWI can improve the prognosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000452149","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,19]],"date-time":"2016-10-19T21:02:17Z","timestamp":1476910937000},"page":"256-260","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Early Carotid Artery Stenting for Cerebral Watershed Infarction Is Safe and Effective: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Huakun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianfeng","family":"Chu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chaolai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhongrui","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shengnian","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cjca.2013.09.030"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2147\/VHRM.S48923"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/01.wnl.0000176036.07558.82"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejvs.2008.11.006"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/01.STR.0000155727.82242.e1"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2012.05.070"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0912321"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1964.21.3.0212"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneur.1963.00460110026002"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2006.05.022"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2010.03.014"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STR.0b013e3181f7d043"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STR.0b013e3182112cc2"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ene.12461"}],"container-title":["European Neurology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/452149","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/452149","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/452149","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T17:19:25Z","timestamp":1745428765000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000452149"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016]]},"references-count":14,"journal-issue":{"issue":"5-6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,11,22]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000452149","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0014-3022","1421-9913"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0014-3022","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-9913","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016]]}}}
