The stent is intended to prevent stroke by opening a blocked artery. The Acculink is inserted during angioplasty, a procedure in which the stent is threaded up to the neck artery via a catheter inserted in the groin. The device helps prevent stroke in people who have had a TIA or stroke and who have at least 50 percent blockage of a carotid artery. ................
