A bare-metal carotid artery stent is a permanent, non-absorbable mesh tube designed to be placed within the carotid artery. Clinicians use these devices to hold the vessel open and restore proper blood flow in patients suffering from narrowing caused by atherosclerotic disease.
These metallic implants are typically delivered to the treatment site using a specialized catheter system that allows the stent to expand once positioned. They are provided as single-use medical devices and may be used alongside embolic protection tools to manage potential debris during the procedure.
