Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- >18 years of age

- Patient must be:

Symptomatic with lesions >/= to 50% stenosis, or Asymptomatic with lesions of >/= to 75%
stenosis in at least one carotid artery, specific to the internal carotid artery, common
carotid artery or bifurcated region; documented through acceptable ultrasound studies,
completed within 30 days of recruitment.

- For patients with bilateral carotid disease- procedures need to be staged greater
than 30 days apart. The lesion that has a greater degree of stenosis will be
considered as the index procedure.

- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days
prior to treatment.

- The patient is able to give informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- The patient is experiencing a new (acute) neurologic event or has experienced a
stroke within the last 30 days prior to enrollment.

- The patient has intracranial tumors, arterial vascular malformations >5mm, aneurysms
or severe intracranial stenosis distal to the target lesion.

- Presence of thrombus at the target site or loose 'floating' debris as determined by
duplex analysis and/or angiography.

- Existing hemorrhagic disease or coagulation problems creating inability to obtain
homeostasis at entry site.

- The patient has an allergy to, or is unable to tolerate, heparin, concomitant
medications (clopidogrel or ticlid, aspirin) or to nitinol metal.

- The patient has a history of or known reaction to radiocontrast agent (radiopaque
dye) and is unable to be premedicated.

- Coumadin treatment that has continued during the 48 hours prior to enrollment and an
INR above hospital normals (i.e. in the event of atrial fibrillation or prosthetic
valve replacement).

- Hemodynamic instability at the time of intervention.

- Severe chronic renal insufficiency (plasma/ serum creatinine> 2.5 mg/dL) at the time
of intervention, except in patients on dialysis.
