Abstract
While popularization of carotid bifurcation intervention occurred only 10 years ago, the rapidity with which technology changed in performing the procedure was astounding. Restrictions upon the performance of the procedure has likely held off continued rapid advancement, nevertheless, there are devices currently in trial and more that have at least been conceived of which will decrease the risks associated with carotid bifurcation intervention. In the following article, device advances that the practicing carotid interventionalist can expect to see within the next few years are reviewed and a look to the future is presented as well.
