Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is an effective and minimally invasive method for the treatment of extracranial carotid artery stenosis. Although CAS has been regarded as a reliable and safety approach, some studies reported that CAS was associated with a higher risk of procedure-related stroke. Cerebrovascular complications after CAS continue to be a main problem and a challenge for the management of these patients. Therefore, it is essential to identify the factors involved in the development of these complications. Our study shows that the combination of female sex and diabetes is associated with a clearly worse outcome, with a greater number of events concentrated mainly in the first days. This is different from other studies that have explored each factor separately. It would be interesting to perform separate interventions for this group given the increased risk of complications.
