To evaluate survival, stroke and restenosis rate during follow\-up, to identity relevant risk factors. Material and methods\: Within the prospective registry, 607 consecutive patients \(age 36\-88 y.o., 51% symptomatic, 650 CAS procedures\), were included. All CAS procedures were conducted according ‘tailored\-CAS’ algorithm. Death, stroke and myocardial infarction were considered as major complications. Results\: 30\-day major complication rate was 2.6%, and it was higher in symptomatic patients group. Hyperperfusion syndrome occurred after 7 \(1.1%\) CAS procedures. In 2 \(0.3%\) patients hyperperfusion syndrome led to intracranial bleeding and death. The risk factors of 30\-day death were age >75y.o., the use of open\-cell stents and treated carotid artery stenosis degree. During long\-term follow\-up freedom from death rate was 96.5% at 1 year and 86.9% at 5 years. The risk factors for death were coronary artery disease, age and diabetes. Freedom from stroke and restenosis rate were 92.5% and 94.7% at 5 years, respectively. The in\-stent restenosis was successfully treated with balloon angioplasty. In case of recurrent restenosis, drug\-eluting stent implantation was effective. No risk factors of stroke were found. Contralateral carotid artery stenosis\/occ"]
