As quoted in the press release:

IRON-GUARD was an independent, multicentre, multi-disciplinary clinical study treating patients with carotid artery disease using the CGuard^TM EPS (embolic prevention system) in 12 Italian centers.
The IRON-GUARD registry enrolled 200 patients, and showed results of 100% technical success placing the device, and zero incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), comprised of death, major stroke or myocardial infarction, in all patients at 30 days. Five (2.5%) minor strokes and two transient ischemic attacks (1%) were observed, which were resolved by 30 days.
Study authors included Professor Carlo Setacci, MD, Francesco Spezialie, MD; Laura Capoccia, MD; Pasqualino Sirignano, MD; Wassim Mansour, MD: Chiara Pranteda, MD; and Renato Casana, MD.
Dr. Francesco Spezialie, stated, “In our multi-center, multi-specialty experience, use of the CGuard EPS in routine clinical practice was associated with no major peri-procedural neurologic complications and a total elimination of post-procedural neurologic complications after 30 days. The CGuard EPS has shown itself to be a promising treatment for carotid lesions.”
